Clacton Pier is Europe's biggest pleasure pier with rides and attractions across multiple zones. You can play ten pin bowling, explore Jurassic Pier with life-size dinosaurs and a 4D cinematic encounter, try darts and shuffleboard with augmented reality, and play 18-hole adventure golf in all weather. There's also a soft play area for younger children, arcade games, and a boardwalk bar. The pier features The Wheel, go karts, and sea fishing.
Open year-round; hours vary by season and weather.
