New favourite beach/nature reserve on the eastern coast. It's amazing when it's sunny, as you can go hunting for shark teeth on the rocky beach, bring your dog all year round, splash around in the little pools left by the high tide in the sheltered little beaches between the piers (safe for little ones) and go swimming/body boarding when it's hot. It's also good on a grey, windy day, because the coastal walk is beautiful and the green next to the Naze Tower is perfect for kite-flying. There's also a wonderful visitor centre (with great gifts) with toilets and a little shop that's perfect for ice-creams and any beach gear you may need. And ample parking! If you really want amusements or fish & chips, you can go further south to the town centre. The Naze Tower itself is a lovely historic site to visit, really good value as you can climb to the top (stunning views) but you can also enjoy history boards, art galleries and tea rooms on several of the floors on the way up/down. Overall, such an amazing, cheap day out.

Hanoverian tower better known as the Naze tower. Stands 86 feet tall on the cliffs of the naze and was built by Trinity House in 1720 to assist ships at sea.

Lovely visit to the Tower. The access is a very narrow spiral staircase so not suitable for anyone with mobility issues. The stairs take you through levels you can stop and view local artwork and rest on the way if needed. Once you get to the top the view is amazing! Pick a clear day for best views. There is a write up telling you what you can see, my only improvement would be depending on where you are standing give you a visual and description for that view. Art work is amazing if you want to treat yourself and you can grab a coffee at the little place outside. We then took a walk along the beach and military walk around the reserve visiting old pillbox remains which was interesting.

Fabulous. Each floor has a selection of art, pottery or photography to purchase. Lovely. I bought two hand made jugs and a soap dish. Views across to Felixstowe and Harwich from the top. Then I had a delicious jacket potato outside afterwards which I purchased from the ground floor, which can be eaten inside if you prefer, on floor 1 or 2. Very friendly lady serving on Saturday. Thank you for a delightful visit.

Very friendly and helpful, the outside cafe was excellent and very reasonable prices. The view from the tower was spectacular and each floor on the way to the top had various art galleries which were great, the beach was lovely and dog friendly. Well worth a visit

Bring along with my drone (fully CAA licence) and take photos.
