Dovercourt - all beaches

Upon arriving at the beach, we noticed the water level was high. As we waited for it to recede, we enjoyed lunch in the nearby open fields. We had difficulty finding many options for fish and chips or ice cream. However, we had no trouble parking as it was both easy and free. The beach was peaceful and uncrowded with soft, sandy shores. The water was crystal clear and refreshing. Overall, we had a wonderful time. The locals were extremely friendly, especially when my wife took a tumble and many kind souls came to her aid.

This seaside location is a delightful spot to take a leisurely stroll. There are a few exceptional coffee shops and the ice cream near the pier is absolutely divine. Don't forget to venture further down the beach to the right of the pier where you'll find a bit of sand to sink your toes into. There are also some fun attractions for young children and gaming machines that even adults can enjoy. Additionally, you'll be pleased to know that there is free parking available nearby.

This stretch of sand and natural beauty is an absolute must-see, even if you happen to visit during the off-season. Whether you're in the mood for a leisurely stroll or simply seeking some much-needed R&R, this beach has got you covered. The only downside? It's a shame that not a single cafe was open come late September. We could have really used a caffeine boost to fully appreciate this idyllic spot. Alas, such is life.
