Seasonal seaside parking with accessible bays, pay-and-display, and direct access to Jaywick beach.
Tendring District Council Car Park on Tamarisk Way is a surface facility serving the Jaywick neighbourhood and seafront. The lot comprises 100 sealed asphalt bays, including six accessible spaces adjacent to the pedestrian crossing leading to the beach and local community centre. Pay-and-display machines accept coins and contactless cards; tariffs are £1 per hour with a daily cap of £5 during peak season (AprilSeptember), and free off-peak. Solar-powered LED bollard lights line pedestrian routes from dusk until 9:00 pm for safe egress. Three CCTV cameras monitor entrances, exits, and accessible bays for security, particularly during summer. Covered information boards display tide times, bus timetables for services to Clacton and Colchester, and local event listings. Pedestrian pathways link directly to the Jaywick beach access, local cafés, and community centre within a two-minute walk. Monthly maintenance includes line repainting, pothole repairs, and litter clearance to maintain a welcoming coastal environment.
