About

The Walton & Frinton Coastal area forms a stretch of the North Sea coastline in the Tendring district. It is characterised by a long, sandy beach backed by a promenade and low sea defences. The area includes the town of Walton-on-the-Naze, known for its pier and the Naze headland, a cliff of London clay and Red Crag with significant geological and fossil deposits.

The landscape transitions to the quieter, residential areas of Frinton-on-Sea, which has a more subdued seafront with greensward and beach huts. The coastline here is managed, with ongoing work to combat erosion, particularly at the Naze. Sailing clubs and coastal walks are common activities along this part of the Essex coast.
