Free seafront parking with accessible bays, lit pathways, and immediate access to Frinton Greensward.
Free Car Park Frinton-on-Sea is a Tendring District Counciloperated facility serving beachgoers and local residents in Frinton-on-Sea. The lot provides 90 sealed gravel bays, including six accessible spaces adjacent to the pedestrian pathway leading to the Greensward and seafront. Parking is free year-round; overnight stays are prohibited. Solar-powered LED bollard lights line pedestrian routes from dusk until 9:00 pm, offering safe access for evening coastal walks. No CCTV is installed due to low nighttime usage; local wardens conduct periodic patrols during summer. Covered information boards at the entrance display tide times, beach safety guidelines, and bus timetables for services to Clacton and Colchester. Pedestrian pathways link directly to the Greensward, ornamental gardens, and beach pavilion within a two-minute walk. Quarterly maintenance includes gravel replenishment, line repainting of bay markers, and litter removal to preserve a tidy, family-friendly environment.
