Walton-on-the-Naze, Coastal town in Essex, England
Located on the North Sea coast, Walton-on-the-Naze features a railway station, a long pier with recreational facilities, and several beaches along its shoreline.
The settlement, originally named Eadolfenaesse, evolved from a farming village into a seaside destination, with much of its medieval structure now submerged due to coastal erosion.
The Walton Maritime Museum, housed in an 1884 lifeboat station, presents exhibitions about local maritime traditions and naval operations through artifacts and photographs.
The town center provides various amenities including shops, restaurants, accommodation options, and direct rail connections to neighboring coastal communities via the Sunshine Coast Line.
The Naze peninsula contains geological formations with fossils dating back 50 million years, making it an important site for paleontological research.
