Why Move to Clacton on Sea?
Clacton on Sea is the largest town in the Tendring peninsula in Essex. The seaside town is well known for its award-winning beaches and closeness to the historic port of Harwich, making travel to other destinations easy and convenient.
The area surrounding the town is inhabited by picturesque villages set against the stunning backdrop of the unspoilt Essex countryside.
Like many other British seaside towns, Clacton-on-Sea fell into decline following the rise of budget airlines and packaged holidays to sunny destinations on the continent.
The town has recently undergone somewhat of an image overhaul owing to a £36m protection fund which has preserved coastal homes and even led to the creation of new beaches.
Renewed economic prospects have seen heavy investment into the town’s retail offering. The Clacton Factory Outlet is particularly popular offering savings of up to 60% off high street prices.
Besides the miles of sandy beaches, Clacton has some beautifully tended gardens and parks where you can watch street entertainers and bands preform. Connections to and from Clacton are excellent and well placed for commuters.
You can reach London Liverpool Street station via train in 60 minutes, Colchester in 30 minutes and Ipswich in 53 minutes. London Southend Airport is also accessible by car.
From seaside coastal walks to convenient commutes to neighbouring working hubs, Clacton-on-Sea very much encapsulates the modern view of an effective ‘work-life balance’.
Working in Clacton on Sea
According to the Department for Work & Pensions, the rate of unemployment in Clacton is both higher than the average for Essex and higher than the national average, suggesting that finding a job in this area may prove difficult.
The town’s economy is geared towards the services sector and relies significantly on entertainment and day-trip facilities.
A renaissance of the seafront is underway in the form of a £36 million-pound coastal defence project from Clacton Pier to Holland Haven.
This has helped to create much needed employment for those skilled in the construction sector. A large portion of the population of the town commute to larger towns and cities for work however.

Today, the sea front is clean and safe with a large stretch of sand beach, ideal for long summer days.
