Clacton Beach

Went to see the excellent air show. Went on some of the pier fairground rides. Had a good meal in restaurant opposite beach , can't remember name

Clacton's Seafront Beach changes dramatically with the time of year, throughout the day, & prevailing weather. It's often a quiet, calm place, especially at first light where the sun rises over the North Sea & Clacton Pier. A few hours later in midsummer season it becomes noisy & overcrowded with holidaymakers mostly congregating around the main amusements.

I love I love this place. I came here for the first time in 2014. charming. attractive . everyone will find something for themselves here.

Fantastic beach! Very picturesque, clean with lots to do. The arcades and rides along the pier are great fun, there’s shops and places to eat all around and the beach is lovely and enjoyable to spend time in.

This beach offers plenty of entertainment and space, although the sand isn't completely smooth due to the pebbles so it is worth having a mat to get comfortable.Getting there is simple, the A12 is nearby but can get congested at times especially with the roadworks near Chelmsford. Parking can be difficult to find and the side roads have some restrictions such as 2 hours only Monday to Saturday.There is a train station for Greater Anglia with service every hour from Liverpool Street.The beach itself is very long so there is plenty of space, but I'd advise a windbreaker and some extra layers as it got very breezy.

Recent press gives Clacton Beach bad reviews. Please visit and judge for yourself! You can walk along the prom for miles.The prom is very clean and bins everywhere. There are some dog-friendly areas, then others where dogs aren't allowed . You have a choice.The beach is very child friendly. There are areas with buckets and spades made available for while you are there. The beach is made up of lots of little sandy bays. Some of them are very quiet with lovely clean sand. The sea is clean .You can access Clacton by train, but there's also very good roads. Please take a visit and judge for yourself.

Lovely and clean , well worth visiting

Great sandy beach next to the Clacton Pier. Good for families and kite-surfers
