What are the beaches like in Holland-on-Sea?
The beaches at Holland on Sea offer a quieter spot to come and escape the crowds at Clacton. This is a good place to come for long walks along the coast, where there is a chance of spotting a variety of migrant birds. Two promenades run alongside the beach. Bicycles are permitted only on the upper promenade. There are benches every 500 metres and 3 kiosks. The sea defences along this stretch of the coastline have undergone significant development in recent years. Newly constructed fish-tail groynes form bays which line the beach.

Does The Tide Come All The Way In?
No, the tide never comes all the way in to the sea wall so there is always sand to enjoy – even at high tide. At low tide you can make your way around the fish-tail groynes and enjoy a private bay for a few hours.
