"Hunstanton (village and town) is one of the few places in Britain where the foreshore is privately owned. The Le Strange family, squires and lords of the manor for more than 800 years, not only own the beach (and, according to a quaintly-worded charter, everything in the sea as far as a man riding a horse can throw a javelin from the low-tide mark), but they also hold the title of Lord High Admiral of the Wash. In the 1930s the famous German long-distance swimmer, Fraulein Mercedes Gleitze swam the Wash from Lincolnshire to Norfolk. As she came ashore at Old Hunstanton, the then squire stepped forward and claimed her as his legal property! "
i think the council maintain it cleaning the beach and emtying bins etc .This includes old hunstanton and New hunstanton beaches.
i must add that there is always plenty of people detecting these beaches
