Speaking of hidden gems, Dovercourt Bay is a local favorite. It’s got a caravan park and a beach that feels like a secret getaway. Backed by dunes and marshes, it’s a peaceful spot to chill and enjoy the views.
And let’s not forget Ha’Penny Pier, built in 1853. It was once a busy spot for paddle steamers until the First World War. The name comes from the half-penny toll that used to be charged. Today, it’s a charming attraction that draws visitors to Harwich every year.
