Clacton on Sea, sitting along the Tendring Peninsula on the Essex coastline, is one of England’s most recognisable seaside towns. With its broad sandy beaches, traditional pier, and amusement arcades, it has long drawn holidaymakers from London and beyond. The town centre features a blend of Victorian and Edwardian architecture, everyday shops, and seasonal entertainment. A sense of nostalgia lingers thanks to classic seafront amusements, colourful beach huts, and historic gardens, while new leisure developments bring modern touches.
