Visitor Update

Unfortunately, the public toilets closest to the beach huts are temporarily closed following a suspected arson fire in the surrounding grassland. 

The beach huts themselves are completely unaffected and remain open as normal.

We've contacted Tendring District Council for further information and will share any updates as soon as we receive them.

In the meantime, the nearest alternative toilets are:

📍 Brighton Road Public Toilets, CO15 5TB - approximately a 9 minute walk from Beach Haven Cafe (no disabled access)
