Holland-on-sea Beach

Holland on sea beaches are unspoilt ,perfect for a lazy day ,dog friendly and are kept clean by the brilliant volunteers from the Holland residents association

I have been going to HOS for a number of years, I have 4 children and have only had very good experiences.
Never busy and lots of space to run around.
Can’t see why anyone would give it below five stars.

Beautiful beach , lovely cafe, friendly dog walkers much better than clacton what more could you want!

Fab beach, but please be aware that some cyclists & dog owners don’t observe the rules! ☹

Had some lovely family time at our first visit to Holland-on-Sea today
Great clean beach with a mix of soft sand (By the path) and stones ( nearer the water) 
car park (Brighton road)  £2 all day toilet and beach just across the road
Ramps down to the beach too and so much space to social distance from others we will definitely become regular visitors here and also dog friendly so will bring our dog next time x

Great place to live lovely beach and Haven Cafe fabulous

Such a different experience to Frinton and Clacton. HOS is less crowded and also the water is often clear. On a warm sunny day you can forget you are in Essex.

A lovely clean beach,part sand/shingle with added stones(it’s a beach!!)..Dogs;well behaved owners)welcome on most parts..2 cafes to cater for all and toilets

One poster stated dog were on the beach in spite of a Ban. That is not totally correct. A few of the beaches at Holland on sea have a dog ban but most do not. You can check on the Tendering Council Web site to verify which beaches have a dog ban

If you prefer a quiet beach with not too many people come here midweek.

The information says dogs not allowed, but as on most UK beaches dog owners appear to be a law unto themselves and you will find dogs on this beach. Mostly quiet (which is bearable) but some do frequently bark which I find irritating. And some cyclists flout the law by riding on the lower footpath but don’t attempt to tell them - I was met a with a rude and ignorant response when I informed them it was a no cycling footpath.
Otherwise a very nice beach.

Nice clean out the way sandy beach with country park and cafe on promenade best beach on Essex coastline

we had a beautiful afternoon on the golden beach enjoyed every minute

Dissapointed was very Stoney everywhere!

Free 6 hour parking on beach side road for cars. Limited pay as you go spaces for Campervans under 5 metres. Forget it if over this length. Keep away from this area and choose a town that welcomes Campervans and motorhomes. Definitely do not support this sort of discrimination.
