Things to do in Essex

If you dream about seaside sunsets, the calm of the waves and the feeling of sand between your toes, then a holiday in Essex is for you! Britain's Sunshine Coast has been luring holidaymakers for generations with its wealth of attractive beaches and seaside amusements. Maybe it's time you joined them!

Clacton-on-Sea is a vintage favourite, with lovely powdery sands, a pier and traditional theatres. There are fairground rides and arcades for the kids too! That's not all, Essex holidays wouldn't quite be complete without visiting the other seaside must-sees, which include Walton-on-the-Naze and Mersea Island.

Away from the sands, the attractions become even more varied, with castles, nature parks and wildlife attractions dotted throughout the stunning countryside in Essex.
