Clacton-on-Sea is the largest town in the Tendring peninsula and district in Essex, eastern England, and was founded as an urban district in 1871. It is a seaside resort that saw a peak of tourists in the summer months between the 1950s and 1970s.
The town's economy continues to rely significantly on entertainment and day-trip facilities and it is strong in the service sector, with a large retired population. The north-west part of the town has two business/industrial parks. In the wider district, agriculture and occupations connected to the Port of Harwich provide further employment.

The town was founded in 1871. It is a seaside resort that attracted many holidaymakers in the 1960's and 70's, but has been in decline since foreign holidays became more fashionable and affordable, making it more popular as a retirement hotspot these days.
The Clacton Carnival is held on the 2nd. Saturday in August, and lasts for a week.
