Several cars were stranded by the high tide at Burnham Overy Staithe during the bank holiday weekend

Photos have shown cars submerged in the sea during high tide at a popular beauty spot.

The cars were spotted stranded over the bank holiday weekend in the village of Burnham Overy Staithe, near Wells, on the north Norfolk coast.

The area around the quay is made up of a slipway and car park that is prone to flooding during high tides.

Visitors are advised by local organisations to check the tide times before leaving their cars for any length of time.
