Clacton-on-Sea's status as a seaside resort was started by Peter Bruff during the year 1871, when the main access to the town was by sea - using steamships who sailed in these waters on a regular basis. The boats started docking in the Clacton Pier in 1871, and the pier started offering amusements and arcades, as well as other amenities, and became a hot spot for both locals and tourists who want to have some fun while in town - with their friends and family, or by themselves.
