Sun, sea, sand and safety go hand in hand on the Essex Sunshine Coast

Every year thousands of visitors come to our resorts at Clacton, Frinton, Walton, Dovercourt and Brightlingsea and we employ a team of 22 seasonal Wardens and Beach Patrollers dedicated to keeping the seafront areas as enjoyable for you as possible. Our Seafront Team are a font of seafront knowledge and can advise you on safety issues, tides, local and general information.

Our Seafront Team inspect the life saving equipment daily and inspect the seafront for any hazards and damage to property so that you can have an pleasant and safe time on the seafronts.

First Aid is available on a daily basis during the season, all wardens carry first aid kits whilst on patrol, and the boathouses and patrol boats have first aid kits. Our staff are well trained and we are prepared for (almost) anything!

Child Safety - A colour coded 'wrist band' scheme operates in Clacton, Frinton and Walton and is free to the public - last season our Seafront Team helped to reunite 80 missing children with their relieved parents!

By the end of the season our staff will have dealt with over 1000 incidents, and will be looking forward to a well-earned break!
