I WAS so incensed at the Which? consumer misjudgement.

We are a varied nation with varied tastes.

Clacton has its own special charm which suits those with fun personalities who enjoy freedom without pomp and ceremony.

Here is my heartfelt impression of this wonderful place in Essex:

Beautiful countryside, huge open skies, the stunning sunsets and amazing sunrise.

Constable, Gainsborough both filled with passion, to capture the magic in artistic fashion.

Seafront gardens with glorious flowers, somewhere to enjoy and while away hours.

Fun family atmosphere, all to enjoy, with funfair and ice cream for each girl and boy.

The Pier in its glory and buzzing with fun, go-karting and crazy golf under the sun.

Seaquarium, water park, fun fair rides, where happiness, giggles and laughter abide.

Free live entertainment and family bowls, a place to make memories for fun loving souls.

Plenty of restaurants, cafes and bars, coffee shops, cocktails or just a few jars.

Italian, Mexican, Greek, English too, fish and chips, carveries, Turkish for you.

With hotels and caravans, so much to do, and all at a price that is sure to suit you.

Easy access to villages, London too, or squeeze in a visit to Colchester Zoo.

Local shopping a feature with quirky boutiques, fashions and bargain stores make it unique.

Two fabulous theatres, varied for you, an amazing air show with a beautiful view.

Miles of beach front with golden sands, a place to sunbathe or stroll with held hands.

Here just a few reasons so many escape, from the humdrum of life to a gorgeous landscape.

Clacton-on-Sea in all its glory...come and join in and be part of this story.

If you love a buzz and a varied pace, then Clacton-on-Sea is the perfect place.
