About

Clacton Central is a coastal neighbourhood centred around its pier and seafront gardens. The area functions as the main retail and leisure hub for the town, with a concentration of shops, amusement arcades, and eateries along Pier Avenue and Station Road. The beach here is predominantly shingle, with groynes dividing the shoreline. The pier, extending over 180 metres into the North Sea, features a permanent funfair and is a focal point for visitors.

The area includes the town's bus station and is characterised by post-war architecture and residential streets that lead directly back from the promenade. A large, grassy bowling green sits adjacent to the seafront, providing a quieter recreational space. The tidal range is significant, often exposing wide stretches of sand and mudflat at low water. This central district is distinctly separate from the quieter, more residential areas of Old Clacton to the north and Jaywick to the south.
