Caravan at Seawick Holiday Park Close to Beach

4.75 out of 5 average rating, 16 reviews3 months ago

Definitely an area to consider for holiday, or even just to house the overflow during Christmas or other family holidays. Very clean, ample room, and location worked well. If you are looking for a place to take the kids over a weekend or break, this holiday park has plenty to offer, as does Clacton. Will definitely come again. Thanks David for everything!
