Irlam's Beach (Earlham's)

Irlam's Beach - Essex

Whilst Dovercourt Bay in Harwich is a popular spot with its own caravan park, Irlam’s beach just along the coast is virtually unknown. Backed by dunes and marshes this is a quiet spot to relax and take in the views across the sea towards the docks up the coast.

Whilst this isn’t a spot you’d want to swim off it is good for fishing and spotting wildlife in the marshland and dunes behind.
