The Tendring district has a great deal to offer today's holidaymaker in search of the traditional pleasures of a seaside holiday, but with modern entertainment and facilities.

Renowned for its sandy beaches, and 2009 holders of 3 European Blue Flags and 6 Quality Coast Award beaches, the area also has a wide variety of other delights to offer its many visitors.

This part of Essex is one of the sunniest, driest areas of the UK. With the beautiful Stour Valley to the north and the River Colne to the south, the area is full of history, quaint villages, rivers and creeks, unspoiled coast and famous countryside. One of the best ways of discovering our area is on foot - why not visit our Walks in Tendring page for more information.

The area offers a busy events calendar throughout the summer season and beyond with shows, festival and fetes. Visit the "What's On" area of this website.
