Hopton-on-Sea is a village, civil parish and seaside resort on the coast of East Anglia, in the county of Norfolk, England.

[1] The earliest human activity in the parish dates to the Palaeolithic era, with the discovery of flint tools.

As part of the £140,000 restoration project by the Great Yarmouth Preservation Trust, gargoyles were found on the site from the previous 11th century church.

During World War II, a dense network of military defences were built in the area due to Hopton's close proximity to Great Yarmouth.

First Eastern Counties operates local bus services, with routes connecting the village with Norwich, Great Yarmouth and Lowestoft.
