About Clacton Beach

Day permits for sea fishing from the pier in a designated area are available. Swimming, canoeing, windsurfing, sailing and jet-skiing all take place in the Marine Conservation Society Recommended sea. Themed gardens line the upper promenade. Unsurprisingly, the beach and surrounding areas get very busy on sunny days.
