Walton-on-the-naze Walton-on-the-Naze is a small town in Essex, England, on the North Sea coast, in the Tendring district. It abuts Frinton-on-Sea to the south. It is a resort town, with a permanent population of about 12,000. Much of the current population moved into the area from London, and there is an East End feel to the town, which even has a pie-and-eel shop. The Naze itself is a penisular to the north of the town. The Naze is an important site for migrating birds and has a small nature reserve. The marshes of Hamford Water behind the town are also of ornithological interest, with wintering ducks and Brent Geese. The tower at the start of the open area of the Naze was built as a sea mark, to assist ships on this otherwise fairly featureless stretch of coast.
