If you're seeking a quintessential family seaside vacation, look no further than the sunny shores of Clacton-on-Sea, Frinton, and Brightlingsea. Located on the glorious Sunshine Coast of Essex, these resorts offer everything from sandy beaches and amusement parks to historic villages and nature reserves.
Clacton-on-Sea boasts miles of sandy beach, captivating seaside gardens, and a bustling pier. The pier, established in 1872, offers thrilling rides, a working lifeboat station, and five acres of space to stroll or fish. The town also features a vibrant shopping centre and several theatres for your entertainment pleasure. Beyond the coastal attractions, you can explore several nature reserves and quaint historic villages.
Frinton is known for its exclusivity and elegance, a reputation earned during its heyday in the 1920s and 30s as a celebrity hotspot. Even today, it retains a charm and elegance that's perfect for a quiet weekend retreat. Its serene beach and beautiful Esplanade offer a serene escape from the bustling city life.
Brightlingsea, nestled on the Colne estuary leading to Colchester, is a haven for sailing enthusiasts. This unique town holds the distinction of being a Cinque port - the only one north of the Thames. It is also home to the intriguingly named Smack Preservation Society, dedicated to preserving traditional sailing boats.
