Walton-on-the-Naze Beach is a large sandy beach with wooden groynes splitting it into sections. Walton-on-the-Naze, in appearance terms, 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.
Walton-on-the-Naze Beach has seasonal dog restrictions from the 1st of May to the 30th of September. It is not the whole beach but two sections: northeast from Percival Road to Naze Park Road and the Pier to the end of The Parade opposite Suffolk Street. Local signs show the restrictions.
Facilities include parking, a pier and amusements, a slipway, a promenade, kiosks, shops, restaurants, cafes and pubs nearby, beach huts for hire and seasonal lifeguards.
