About

Jaywick sits directly on the North Sea coast, characterised by its grid of small bungalows and chalets originally built as a 1930s holiday retreat. The area includes the Martello Tower and a stretch of beach backed by grasslands. Immediately inland, the landscape opens into the agricultural fields and creeks of the Tendring Peninsula.

To the east, St Osyth is centred around a rural village with a historic priory and creek-side marina. The area is defined by large areas of farmland and the St Osyth Creek, which feeds into the Colne Estuary. Salt marshes and nature reserves border the waterways, supporting birdlife and separating the settlements from the open water.
