Sandy shores, clifftops and seaside charm of the Naze

## 🥾 GO London Hiking – Frinton-on-Sea, & The Naze Coastal Walk

### 🌄 Overview

This spectacular coastal hike starts in Frinton-on-Sea and explores the wild landscapes of the Naze Nature Reserve, one of Essex’s most distinctive headlands.

Weaving our way through Frinton, we arrive at Holland Gap, before turning Heading north along the coastal path. We pass Walton Pier and view the lines of vibrant, multicoloured beach huts. The seafront path continues to the Naze and the iconic Naze Tower.
Following dramatic cliff-top paths with sweeping sea views we loop the coastline around the headland, and back to Walton where there’s time to relax with post-hike refreshments before the journey home. This route combines nature, coastal drama, and traditional seaside charm into a rewarding day by the sea.
