Find out about the progress of improving coastal access – including maps, process and timing – in Essex.
Map of the stretch
Natural England has begun to investigate how to improve coastal access along an 81 km stretch of the Essex coast between Salcott and Jaywick.
Officers from Essex County Council are providing Natural England with expert local advice and helping to make sure there is full consultation with local interests during the development of the route.
Stage of progress
On 11 November 2021, the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs approved the remaining sections of coast path between Salcott and Jaywick.
The reports are still available to view.

Next steps
Stage 5: Open
Work is now underway to prepare the new stretch of coast path for public use. The first step is to contact owners and occupiers of the affected land to discuss the design and location of any new infrastructure which is needed, such as signs and gates.
When preparations are complete, new access rights will come into force along the route and adjoining spreading room. For further advice see the detailed guide below.
