1. The Pier            *** WALTON SLIDE SHOW ***
Walton Pier is the second longest in England with tenpin bowling, pub, rides and restaurant - plenty of fun for all!

2. The Naze                                   ***NAZEMAN***
Just north of the town lies the Naze Public Open Space - the 'jewel in the crown' of Walton's attractions - a beautiful unspoilt promontory of acid grass coastal heathland and scrub woodland with salt marsh to the north of the existing sea wall.
 
  
3. The Tower          ***TOWER HERITAGE WALK***
Dominating the Naze is the Naze Tower. Built in 1720, it is one of the oldest navigational seamarks around our coastline. Recently refurbished as a business, you can now climb to the very top for some great views!


4. The Cliffs                          ***VIDEO CLIP***
The Naze Cliffs are a magnificent but fast disappearing sight as the relentless sea takes its toll. Formed two million years ago, they are composed of rarely seen 'red crag' - highly vulnerable to the effects of erosion and full of fossils! The 'Nazeman' video is recommended...

5. The Museum                   ***AUDIO GUIDE***
The Maritime Museum - maintained by the Frinton & Walton Heritage Trust - opens midsummer afternoons in the Old Walton Lifeboat House. It is full of historic and geological interest unique to the coastal area.

     
6. The Backwaters           ***VIDEO CLIP***
The enchanting creeks and islands behind Walton-on-the-Naze are sheltered from the sea by the Naze Peninsula. They're full of rare natural history and are home to their own colony of seals!

      
7. The Beach           ***LUXURY BEACHHOUSE***
Washed daily by the North Sea high tide and extending far out to sea at low water, the Walton-on-the-Naze beaches are among the cleanest in the British Isles and excellent for building sand castles!
