About

Clacton North is a coastal residential district situated at the northern end of the town's urban area. The neighbourhood is characterised by a mix of post-war housing estates and interwar semidetached homes, with local shopping parades serving the community. Its layout is defined by long, straight roads leading inland from the coastline, which is lined with a concrete sea wall and a wide, grassy promenade. The area functions primarily as a quiet, residential zone for local families and retirees.

The beach here is predominantly shingle, with groynes dividing the shore and creating a more natural environment compared to the central pier area. A notable local feature is the Martello Tower J, one of the defensive structures built along this coast during the Napoleonic era, which now stands overlooking the sea. Green spaces include the Valley Walk, a linear park following a stream, and the West Greensward playing fields, providing recreational space away from the main tourist focus further south.
