CLACTON: THE BEACH.
This popular east-coast watering-place possesses a fine dry climate, and the air is extremely bracing. It owes its development chiefly to invasion by the railway in 1882, since which it has rapidly expanded. The town lies high, on the top of the cliffs, and the firm yellow sands make the bathing unusually good. The pier is about a quarter of a mile long, and is one of the points of call for the fine Clyde-built steamers which run in the summer between London and Harwich. Clacton is an openly-built, clean-looking town, and beside its ephemeral summer visitors, possesses several good schools, and is gradually attracting a considerable number of middle-class residents. It has been necessary to protect part of the front by a massive sea-wall.
