About

Eastcliff ward covers the easternmost residential areas of Clacton-on-Sea, bordering the North Sea coastline. The terrain is largely flat, characterised by post-war housing estates, bungalows, and some apartment blocks built to serve the local population. The area includes the grounds of Clacton County High School and is defined by streets like St Osyth Road and Kings Avenue, leading toward the central shopping district.

The ward's defining feature is its proximity to the Greensward, a long stretch of grassy cliff-top above the beach, which provides open public space. The local economy is oriented around services for residents, with several small parades of shops. Martello Bay, with its concrete sea wall and sloping shingle beach, lies directly within the ward's boundaries, marking the transition from urban settlement to the open coast.
