User reviews

"In my opinion, the beach in Essex is the best one around. It's clean, has plenty of golden sand, and offers great fishing opportunities and breathtaking views. Additionally, there's plenty of space to relax and enjoy the sun. The fact that it's pet-friendly is a huge plus. However, please be mindful of your rubbish and dispose of it properly in the bins on the front."
