Seafront parking with accessible bays, pay-and-display, and walkable access to Holland-on-Sea beach.
Ipswich Road Car Park is a seaside facility managed by Tendring District Council, serving visitors to Holland-on-Sea beach. The site offers 150 sealed asphalt bays, including six accessible spaces located adjacent to the pedestrian crossing leading to the promenade and beach access. Pay-and-display machines accept coins and contactless cards; tariffs are £1.20 per hour with a daily cap of £5. Solar-powered LED lampposts illuminate all aisles from dusk until 11:00 pm during peak season, ensuring safe access for evening beachgoers. Two CCTV cameras monitor entrances and accessible bays for security. Covered information boards display tide times, beach safety guidelines, local bus timetables for the 76 and 75 services to Clacton and Colchester, and event notices. Pedestrian pathways link directly to the beach promenade and local cafés within a two-minute walk. Monthly maintenance includes line repainting, pothole repairs, and litter clearance to preserve a clean, welcoming environment for families and tourists.
