A Unique Fishing Experience Awaits! 

Clacton Pier offers one of the most enjoyable sea fishing experiences on the Essex coast. Our spacious berthing arm gives anglers a peaceful, sheltered area to fish away from the crowds.

Whether you are a regular or trying pier fishing for the first time, it’s an ideal location to cast a line and relax by the sea. Across the year you can expect species such as codling, bass and whiting.

For frequent anglers, the 24/7 Annual Fishing Permit provides unlimited access to the pier head day and night, all year round.
