mushy East coast beach break, more chop than waves. Good fun in general, with the odd surprising days. Walton probably gets better waves than nearby Clacton. Can only be sailed at low or mid tide because the sea wall is in the way.

Features

Right under the lifeboat station. Also if you sail round the Naze there is a secret sand bar that can provide some really good conditions, it is a mission to get too and you have to be safety concious.

Considerations

Groynes, high tide breaks agains the sea wall so should be avoided. Lost essex girls.

Directions to Walton-on-the-naze

Take the A12 towards Colchester and then Clacton, where you turn off to the A133. Split towards Walton on Naze and take the road all lthe way to the sea front, take a left and progress to the Lifeboat station where you will find some parking and a place to launch.
