Amateur film showing holiday makers arriving by train and spending the day at Cromer beach.

A steam train arrives at Cromer Beach Station and passengers alight in a hurry. Exterior shot showing the station building front. A view of the seaside town taken from the cliffs looking towards East Runton. The Church of Saint Peter and Saint Paul towers above the town. The pier is also visible. There are some shots of Cromer streets, showing light traffic, a boy on a bicycle and people shopping. Several holiday makers window shop. Some of the unusual architectural features are highlighted. There is a shot of a display of china in a shop window. Scenes from the beach show several crab boats, all registered in Yarmouth. Holiday makers paddle in the sea whilst others play beach cricket. Back at the station people make their way along the platform heading for the 5.00pm train which then pulls out of the station.
