A renovated Martello Tower, Jaywick is a thriving arts, heritage and community venue on the beautiful Jaywick Sands coastline near Clacton on Sea.

A unique heritage centre on the coast for visitors and the community, Jaywick Martello Tower is one of twenty-nine defences built on the east coast of England to defend the country from attacks from Napoleon Bonaparte and his armies.

Visitors can explore the history of the tower through an exhibition hosted on the ground floor, as well as getting up close to a replica cannon, and enjoying wonderful views across the sea from the roof.

The first floor is an arts and heritage space which frequently hosts exhibitions often inspired by the local, coastal environment and history.

The Tower is open to the public many days of the year for visitors (particularly during the summer months) and has a year-round programme of talks, workshops and events.

The Tower was a former finalist for the Essex Tourism and Hospitality Awards in the category of Best Small Attraction and holds a certificate of excellent on Trip Advisor.
