The beach consistently comes up in statistics as being in one of the most depressing and 'worst' places to live in the UK - but it is home to one of the best beaches in the county
Jaywick, often cited in surveys as one of the UK's most downtrodden and "worst" places to live, was labelled England's most deprived area in 2019. Yet, it boasts one of Essex's finest beaches, renowned for its peacefulness and sandy expanses.
While some might be reluctant to acknowledge it, Jaywick possesses a beach that could compete with many across Essex. Its unspoiled sands and inviting swimming spots are perhaps Jaywick's best-kept secret. So, what makes Jaywick beach stand out enough to counterbalance the town's negative reputation?
Nestled roughly halfway between Clacton-on-Sea and Colne Point, Jaywick's sandy beach stretches the entire length of the village, offering ample space. It's less frequented than the bustling Clacton-on-Sea, providing visitors with a sense of spaciousness that's hard to find elsewhere.The beach's tranquillity is a major draw it's quieter than other popular Essex destinations.
Moreover, the beach has a rich history that is less widely known. This part of the coast is dotted with Martello towers, small round forts constructed in the 19th century to guard against invasions from across the English Channel. While it's easy to form opinions based on hearsay, this beach challenges the 'deprived' stereotype, boasting immaculate sands that make it a must-visit spot this summer.
