Brightlingsea has a sandy beach called Brightlingsea Beach, which features colourful beach huts and runs along the Western Promenade next to Bateman’s Tower.

I am particularly fond of photographing beach huts and had a walk along the promenade on a very sunny though extremely windy day. The clouds were almost more appealing than the huts.

Behind the row of beach huts is a boating lake which looked a lot more attractive than on our previous visit back in 2016.


The huts along with Bateman’s Tower make a rather nice backdrop when the sun sets behind them.


One thing we weren’t short of was a dramatic sky.




I love beach huts, I’d be very happy taking photos there 😀 And your final shot is absolutely stunning!
More dramatic skies to come. It really is a place for sunsets.
Beach huts as far as the eye can see! Lovely.
The beach huts are so cute. They’re not common here so I really enjoy seeing them elsewhere.
Hubby and I used to take my parents to a good pub at the harbour there many years ago, but it closed or changed hands and we haven’t been back to the area in a long time. I can’t remember if we ever went to the beach though – we need to explore the area again!
We visited the Yachtsman’s Arms a couple of times and found the food there to be pretty good.
