Colne Point Nature Reserve

Highlight • Natural

As a bike you should use an MTB. There are only a few paved paths. But pure nature.

Stairs at Clacton Pier

Highlight • Structure

At nearly 40 degree angle these are tricky at best of times the rail that's meant to guide the bike is next to useless wheels don't sit in it well. you will more then likely bang your pedals or frame bottom out as you come off or on the steps. Let alone doing this in the wet or with an E bike and its weight. My Advice get off the cycle route and head up or down the Pier Gap road by foot or pedal and rejoin at the top or bottom from the road.

The Beach Haven

Highlight • Rest Area

Tucked away down on the promenade just beyond the no-cycling sign. Access via the boat slip ramp. You need to know it's there as you won't go past it otherwise.

Clacton Pier

Highlight • Structure

Pier of the year 2020 - why wouldn’t you visit? Open early until late all year round, a great spot for refilling water bottles and a quick ice cream break.
