About Clacton-on-Sea

Learn more about the host city, Clacton-on-Sea.

Clacton-on-Sea, often simply called Clacton, is a coastal town in Essex, England. It lies on the Tendring Peninsula and is the largest settlement in the Tendring District, with a population of 53,200 in 2021. The town is situated around 77 miles (124 km) north-east of London, 16 miles (26 km) south-east of Colchester and 16 miles (26 km) south of Harwich. The area was historically in the parish of Great Clacton. The development of the seaside resort began in the 1870s and was called Clacton-on-Sea to distinguish it from the older village about 1 mile (1.6 km) inland. Great Clacton and Clacton-on-Sea were always administered together, forming a single urban district called Clacton between 1895 and 1974; the two settlements gradually merged into a single urban area during the 20th century. It lies within the Parliamentary constituency of Clacton.
