Clacton-on-Sea is the largest town on the Tendring Peninsula, in Essex, England and was founded in 1871. It is a seaside resort that used to attract many tourists in the '60s and '70s, but which like other English resorts has been in decline since foreign holidays became more fashionable and affordable making it more of a retirement hotspot these days. It is located between Jaywick and Holland-on-sea along the coastline and Great Clacton to the north. The relevant local authority is Tendring District Council.
The town is served by Clacton-on-Sea railway station (90 minutes to London Liverpool Street station).
Clacton has a pleasure pier, arcades, a golf course,caravan parks and an airfield. The town and its beaches are still popular with tourists in the summer, and there is an annual entertainment programme including the Clacton carnival held the second Saturday in August and lasting for a week and Clacton Airshow, an aerial display that takes place on the Thursday and Friday before the August Bank Holiday involving historic and modern aircraft such as the Lancaster, Spitfires, Hurricane, helicopters, Harrier, Jaguar, Tornado, wing-walkers and the Red Arrows.
Clacton-on-Sea is served by a bustling shopping area with many of the usual national chains represented and a Factory Shopping Village, in the north of the town.
Clacton-on-Sea has two theatres, the West Cliff Theatre and the Princes Theatre. The West Cliff is one of the last theatres in the country to put on an old style summer show.
Clacton has an airfield (now privately owned) which once featured on the television series "Airport" when Jeremy Spake was given a flying lesson by the then owner of the airfield, Roly (aka "The Wing Commander of Clacton"). This episode is repeated often on UK cable channels.
