Jaywick is a small seaside area with nearby countryside, situated within 2 miles of the popular seaside town of Clacton-on-Sea. It has a charm of its own but is run down in places.
Clacton-on-Sea has a wide variety of attractions for visitors of all ages. Clacton Pier offers fairground rides, amusements and fishing. Overlooking the sea front you will find picturesque gardens; the Town offers cinema, theatre, nightclubs and restaurants to cater for all tastes.
A short ride away is Clacton Factory Shopping Village, where you can find great bargains from designer fashions to housewares.
A variety of day trips can be filled at Colchester, Britain's oldest recorded town, with its castle, museum, cobbled stone streets and live theatre. You will also find the famous Colchester Zoo and wildlife park within the area.
Clacton is just a 15 minute drive from Walton-on-the-Naze, which offers breathtaking walks within its nature reserve, and visits to the newly re-opened Naze Tower
