Dovercourt Beach and its iconic lighthouses are a hidden gem along the coast. The beach itself offers a picturesque stretch of golden sands, perfect for leisurely strolls or sunbathing. What truly sets this spot apart are the twin lighthouses, standing tall as guardians of the shoreline. Their striking red and white colors contrast beautifully with the deep blue of the ocean. The historical significance and the sense of tranquillity they bring to the area are truly captivating. Whether you're a history enthusiast or simply seeking a serene escape, Dovercourt Beach and its lighthouses make for a memorable visit.

Stayed nearby for a week with the kids and was absolutely blown away by this area! The beach is gorgeous and sandy with lots of interesting twists and turns, great for exploring and walking the dog but the true magic of this place happens when the tide goes out and reveals the most incredibly landscape! Everything is clearly sign posted, there is loads of parking, clean toilets and even a little toy box on the beach for you build sandcastles with, without having to bring your own bucket and spade! Such a great beach, would definitely recommend.

Dovercourt Beach is sandy with some shingle. The main outstanding feature of local interest are the unique pair of matching lighthouses. The views are magnificent on any clear day, Walton-on-Naze being visible on the opposite Essex coastline. The beach hut area occasionally featured as a backdrop during filming for some episodes of the popular sitcom, Hi-De-Hi. Dovercourt Beach is the most northerly such resort in Essex.

Threw some stones, plenty of flat ones for skipping, however, less now as I did throw a fair few. Nice views of some big ships. Lighthouses are nice to look at, great for photos and likes on the gram. Sandy beach too, good for walking on and lying down on, or whatever else youd like to be doing on it. All in all, a fab day out. Check out my photo it lekker.

Came here on my birthday on a very stormy day and had a wonderful time. The beach and surrounding areas are clean and well kept, the beach is surround by a lot of interesting history, the long walk along the wall of the beach is beautiful and we didn't even have to pay for parking. Great day out for anyone looking to go to the beach

No amusements or tacky gift shops. Simply an award winning beach with good level open space prom. Clear level walking to Harwich old town. Free parking & fine views across bay. Sit & watch the ships come & go from Harwich & Felixstowe. A mere 60min from M11. Park up by the Victoria statue for Wetherspoons.
