Clacton is a busy seaside resort. The sandy beach is gently shelving and backed by the promenade and beach huts. Cliffs form a backdrop with the greensward and the town behind. The installation of fish tail groynes and the recharging of sand has allowed a good beach to be accessable at states of the tide.
