By the time the 1950s and \u201960s came along, this was the beachside place to be seen, with families pouring in from London and the southeast to soak up the sun.<\/p>\n<p class=\"fade-in\" data-delay=\"0.4s\">While other English resort towns faded, flaked and closed their doors, Clacton has managed to keep up with the times \u2013 and today, it\u2019s still as lively and entertaining as ever and the biggest town on the Essex Sunshine Coast. A bustling but affordable seaside resort, it boasts various entertainment facilities, including a pleasure pier, arcades, the Princes and the West Cliff Theatres, a golf course, seafront walks, water sports, and an airfield offering pleasure flights.<\/p>\n<p class=\"fade-in\" data-delay=\"0.5s\">The main shopping area contains many of the more familiar national chains, independent stores, and various eateries to tantalise your taste buds, which is a common theme throughout the area. An eclectic annual events programme includes fetes, fairs, carnivals and the two-day annual Clacton Airshow.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/article>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<svg class=\"animation-path animation-path--static animation-path--top-right\" width=\"622\" height=\"378\" viewBox=\"0 0 622 378\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\">\n\t\t\t<path opacity=\"0.32\" d=\"M20 -71.48C58.0029 13.2309 119.555 89.3341 201.277 133.411C282.968 177.52 385.673 186.355 469.214 145.819C596.476 84.0722 671.734 -75.7025 644.418 -214.494C629.769 -288.941 529.532 -382.13 443.132 -259.481C375.116 -162.914 421.759 -22.0437 473.534 84.1372C525.309 190.286 607.551 278.699 695.965 357.044\" stroke=\"#D0DCF1\" stroke-width=\"40\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" stroke-linecap=\"round\"\/>\n\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<svg class=\"animation-path animation-path--static animation-path--bottom-left\" width=\"812\" height=\"359\" viewBox=\"0 0 812 359\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\">\n\t\t\t<path opacity=\"0.32\" d=\"M-221 75.1374C-183.667 37.3041 112.5 -35.363 172.5 92.1381C216.588 185.826 22.5896 277.27 9.5 386.992C-10.5 554.639 144 551.139 212 506.492C326.006 431.639 260.5 222.962 474.5 215.639C626.149 210.449 633 355.638 807.5 386.992\" stroke=\"#D0DCF1\" stroke-width=\"40\"\/>\n\t\t<\/svg>\n\t<\/section>\n\n\n\t<section class=\"section  \">\n\t\t<div class=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"section__heading\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"fade-in\">Stay nearby<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.travelodge.co.uk\/search\/results?location=Clacton%20on%20Sea\" class=\"btn btn--md btn--icon-right fade-in hide-on-mobile\">View all<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.travelodge.co.uk\/pp\/wp-content\/themes\/travelodgewp-challenger\/images\/icon-chevrone-right.svg\" alt=\"\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/a>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"grid grid--05\">\n\t\t\t\t<article class=\"card card--place card--place-lg fade-in\">\n\t<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.travelodge.co.uk\/hotels\/405\/Clacton-on-Sea-Central-hotel\" class=\"card__link\" aria-label=\"Link To Clacton-on-Sea Central\"><\/a>\n\t<div class=\"card__img\">\n\t\t<img\n\t\t\tsrc=\"https:\/\/www.travelodge.co.uk\/pp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/GB0842.jpg\"\n\t\t\talt=\"Clacton-on-Sea Central\"\n\t\t>\n\t<\/div>\n\t<div class=\"card__body\">\n\t\t<h5 class=\"card__title\">Clacton-on-Sea Central<\/h5>\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.travelodge.co.uk\/hotels\/405\/Clacton-on-Sea-Central-hotel\" class=\"btn card__btn\" target=\"_blank\">Search deals<\/a>\t<\/div>\n<\/article>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.travelodge.co.uk\/search\/results?location=Clacton%20on%20Sea\" class=\"btn btn--md btn--icon-right fade-in show-on-mobile\">View all<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.travelodge.co.uk\/pp\/wp-content\/themes\/travelodgewp-challenger\/images\/icon-chevrone-right.svg\" alt=\"\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/a>\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/section>\n\n\n<section class=\"section section--center  \">\n\t\t<div class=\"container fade-in\">\n\t\t<div\n\t\t\tclass=\"map\"\n\t\t\tid=\"map\"\n\t\t\tdata-api-key=\"AIzaSyBc9d_QBHc2bVXQADFJE6euP9Z6wITGwPs\"\n\t\t\t data-map-options='{&quot;center&quot;:{&quot;lat&quot;:51.789534,&quot;lng&quot;:1.153035},&quot;zoom&quot;:12,&quot;mapId&quot;:&quot;735119a5246410ed&quot;}' data-markers='[{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;hotel&quot;,&quot;lat&quot;:51.789841,&quot;lng&quot;:1.150915,&quot;name&quot;:&quot;Clacton-on-Sea Central&quot;,&quot;image&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.travelodge.co.uk\\\/pp\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2025\\\/12\\\/GB0842.jpg&quot;,&quot;image2x&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.travelodge.co.uk\\\/pp\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2025\\\/12\\\/GB0842.jpg&quot;,&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.travelodge.co.uk\\\/hotels\\\/405\\\/Clacton-on-Sea-Central-hotel&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;hotel&quot;,&quot;lat&quot;:51.94156149,&quot;lng&quot;:1.259909525,&quot;name&quot;:&quot;Harwich&quot;,&quot;image&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.travelodge.co.uk\\\/pp\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2025\\\/12\\\/GB2107.jpg&quot;,&quot;image2x&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.travelodge.co.uk\\\/pp\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2025\\\/12\\\/GB2107.jpg&quot;,&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.travelodge.co.uk\\\/hotels\\\/717\\\/Harwich-hotel&quot;}]'\t\t>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Seaside resorts don\u2019t get much more iconic than Clacton.
