About
Walton-on-the-Naze Beach is a large sandy beach with wooden groynes splitting it into sections. Walton-on-the-Naze, in appearance, still has some of the original Victorian seaside-town charms, with a promenade, pier, and beach huts.
The beach spans either side of the second-longest pier in Britain, with nearby Southend being the longest. As you are standing on the pier looking out to sea, the beach on the left is also known as Albion Beach, whilst the beach on the right is known as Southcliff Beach and has banks of beach huts behind the promenade.
