Frinton-on-Sea is a small, quiet seaside town in Essex compared to nearby alternatives of Walton-on-the-Naze and Clacton-on-Sea is in a bygone age. You have a great beach backed by a promenade and large grass areas without amusement or arcades.

This makes it great for taking your dog as Frinton-on-Sea has a 1.5km (1 mile) sandy beach with wooden groynes. There are seasonal dog restrictions but you have an all-year-round stretch of beach available.

These Frinton-on-Sea Beach dog restrictions span from the 1st of May to the 30th of  September, prohibiting dogs from the seafront Warden Station below Connaught Avenue to public conveniences below Cambridge Road.

As you wander along the beach or promenade take a moment to study the beach huts. These huts differ from most resorts, in that although accessed from the promenade, they protrude over the beach on stilts. A great photo opportunity with the different colours and moods of the sea and sky.

Facilities include parking on the road, toilets, shops, one pub, beach huts and grassy areas.
