It's a town popular with visitors from across the country for its inviting beaches, buzzing cafes and world-famous pier.
And now there is a fresh push to bring another of Cromer's attractions into the tourism spotlight - its tennis courts.
Kelvin van Hasselt, Cromer Lawn Tennis and Squash Club's chairman, said the club's 10 grass courts were laid down in 1907 when the town was a resort for the rich and famous.
Mr van Hasselt said: "This club was originally built for the aristocrats really and they're now a valuable asset for Cromer and north Norfolk.
"The courts are still among the third or forth best in the country and we feel it isn't used as much as it could be. It's a huge asset and a massive tourist draw.
"Either we serve the community or we're nothing."
He said the club was partnering with the north Norfolk country house Wolterton Hall to promote tennis holidays, where guests at the hall would be sent there to play tennis.
Mr van Hasselt said: "That is a really big development and it really highlights the importance of tourism to the club."
Keith Day and Peter Sheppard, the hall's owners, were guests of honour at an event to celebrate the opening of the club's grass courts - its four hard courts reopened at the end of March.
Cromer's mayor, Richard Leeds, cut a ribbon to mark the reopening. The club is now open seven days a week from 9am until 9pm.
The club has two Lawn Tennis Association Level 4 coaches, head coach Andy Margarson and the newly recruited Gavin Haggart, who was the former head coach at London's Coolhust Club.
Mr van Hasselt said they also had a special promotion running whereby the first 25 members of the public who came to the club for the first time would get a free tin of tennis balls.
