Sidestrand and Trimingham Cliffs is a 133.9-hectare (331-acre) biological and geological Site of Special Scientific Interest south-east of Cromer in Norfolk.[1][2] It is a Geological Conservation Review site.[3][4][5] It is in the Norfolk Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.[6]

This crumbling cliff exposes both Pleistocene sediments and a rich assembly of invertebrate fossils dating to the late Cretaceous. It also has several rare beetles and the Red Data Book parasitic herbaceous plant purple broomrape.[7]

The beach is open to the public.
