Frinton-on-Sea Beach
Frinton, with its wide sandy beach, has gone out of its way to remain as uncommercialised as possible and maintain its reputation as a quiet family resort.
Somewhat in contrast to neighbouring Clacton or Walton has an air of reserved gentility and has been rewarded for its outstanding cleanliness with a Blue Flag award.
The gently shelving beach is divided up by a series of timber groynes. Frinton’s sand is of the type that is perfect for making sandcastles - nice and firm. This means it is also ideal for running around on and beach games, further asserting its credentials as a fine family beach.
To the rear of the beach is an extensive promenade, much of which is lined with colourful, old-fashioned beach huts. There is also an extensive grassy area, the Greensward, which is an ideal spot for a picnic.

Frinton-on-Sea Beach Reviews
Delightful
A great beach with lots of sand and lots of walks. Plenty of free parking.
Plenty of free toilets down on the beach (although you can use the 20p ones in town).
Really enjoyed our day out.
Perfect for families and dogs as well.
Can’t wait to go back.
