Fun rides for the children, great places to eat and have snacks. The beach is stunning, sandy beaches as far as the eye can see. Well worth a visit. | 0 |
Stroll down the hill from the quaint little train station at Walton on the Naze and be prepared to be smacked in the face by the bright yellow and red paint work adorning the entrance to the Pier. It can only get worse I'm afraid. The kids will love the alluring neon lights of the slot machines, the sickly smell of candy floss and donuts and the miniature fun fair waiting inside for Mum and Dad to part with their money. Spotted a cafe at each end of the amusements which I wouldn't touch with a barge pole, but that's me. So why 3 stars you say? Well, I did manage to take a gentle walk to the end of the pier and check out the life boat, chat with the fisherman about the day's catch and take some pics of the town. Tip! Before you enter just make sure you have all eaten and have completely spent out. | 0 |
Bargain offer of £10 play all day wristbands at the moment. Great fun for the kids. Not much for adults but it appears to be aimed at youngsters so no complaints. | 0 |
This is a small and quite dated attraction but very kind and friendly staff. Would have been better if they honoured the web offer Park resorts said they had of 1 hour for £10 but never mind! | 2 |
this was brilliant we spent one of the days at the pier, the weather was not great but this was not an issue as there waws still so much to do! my Children had a great day! definatly advice | 0 |
Love going hers at least once a year, always people enjoying themselves, locals and visitors alike. Clean tidy and very well run. | 1 |
Having said that, it's not all bad, it is weather tight so enables you to defeat a wet day at a British seaside. The pier is free entrance and you are able to walk in and out and all the way to the far end without any charges. The main attraction is a fun fair with the usual selection of rides; dodgems, waltzers, trampolines etc etc. Everything needs tickets, at least 3 per ride and many rides need 4 or more. There are several deals including the all-you-can-ride wristband at £10 per child. The prices seem a bit high, especially out of season and everything looks a little tired and well used. However the Seaspray cafe on the pier serves excellent fresh hot ring donuts - best enjoyed with a mug of tea and the staff are happy cheeky and chirpy which is a rare pleasure and is a great treat after a cold walk down the pier and back. | 2 |
The pier is an added advantage to a beautiful beach, has the typical amusements associated with a pier. We did not feel ripped off with the prices they were what you’d expect at a holiday resort pier. | 4 |
finding nothing to do one sunday the wind was wailing and the rain lashing down we was thinking what shall we do . so we jumped in the car and headed out and found our selves in walton-on-sea. so we parked up and headed for the pier. well its got so many things to do theres the typical arcades and machines and the fun fair ten pin bowling alley and cafe. and a walk along the fresh sea air. after going all round the pier we strolled along the beach front . although the weather was bad the sea lashing and the waves higher than us we had a great time. the shops small and quirky. pie and mash if you like it. we had a lovely time its even better in the summer a place to be... | 0 |
Came Here for a day trip with family and in one word wonderful!!! The beach is absolutely fantastic and hasn't lost it's appeal since I was a kid. Although it lacks bakeries there isn't much to fault Walton. The pier and rides are really good for kids and I would certainly recommend 100% | 0 |
Walton pier is weird because it's a large pier with the usual tacky amusements and rides normally associated with somewhere like Clacton or Brighton, except that Walton-on-the-naze is a tiny little mainly quaint village, it just doesn't sort of belong there! Walton looks like many other Southern coastal resorts, a bit old-fashioned and well past its heydey. Maybe in its heyday it got the crowds to justify a big pier but the place just looks sorry now and under-attended. What scared me though was that from the outside the state of repair did not look good, and the ancient, weather-eroded wooden planks of the pier itself often have really large gaps inbetween, which scared the children! Some nice kiddie rides, but expensive like everywhere else. Has the usual huge area of amusements with the usual machines, 2-pence waterfalls and the like. Staff at the coin counters were very good when we were there. I just really didn't like the condition of the pier, I wouldn't risk going on it in rough sea! | 0 |
Inside slots and rides with friendly and helpful attendants. The outside walk to the lifeboat and the view of the town/prom is ok with fishermen at the end of the pier. The ten pin bowling is reasonably priced with friendly staff and the score is calculated for you. | 0 |
Came here couple months ago now.. Was a nice day out.. Not too much around the place but it was a nice time with the family relaxing. | 0 |
Walton Pier, a must for all grown up kids, its not changed since I was a wee laddie, although in those days I ddin;t think in Scots words! Go, it's just top fun :-) | 0 |
omg what has happened to my childhood memorys the rides looking tired the place lacking atmosphere staff more like zombies an injection of serious funds and happiness are urgently needed or walton and walton pier in particular will be a distant memory what a shame that would be | 3 |
This is where we wanted to stay but unfortunately there are two Martello Parks and we booked the wrong one | 0 |
If you tire of the joys of sea and sand or showers drive you from the shore then a trip to Walton pier may be what you are looking for. Walton Pier is a typical seaside, Victorian, pier and is free to go on.How one might rate this pier really depends on the age group of those involved. If you are going as a family with children (especially those under 10) it would rate as very good bordering on excellent but if you are going as an adult with no interest in either angling, walking or bowling you would probably rate it as poor, consequently I've rated it as average overall as I don't feel it caters for everyone.So what can one do on the pier? There are a number of fairground rides - all under cover - what a blessing if it starts to rain as they will still keep working. Most of the rides are for smallish children but there are a couple of things that suit older people e.g. dodgems and a waltzer. One can either buy a very reasonably priced wristband to go on the rides or buy tickets if you only wish to take one or two rides, you have the choice. There is a fair size amusement arcade, how much one spends there is up to you - there are 'penny pusher' type machines that only cost 2p per go through to prize crane type machines at 30p (there is also a small over 18 section). About half way down the pier is the bowling alley that also houses a cafe, licensed bar and toilets that are open to all pier users. Beyond that is the open part of the pier - chiefly used by anglers and those who like a little walk. There is nothing at the end of the pier except a view of the sea and the lifeboat.I believe during summer weekends there is live music on the pier in the evening (at least it advertised this on a small outdoor stage)At the front of the pier is the Seaspray Diner - a large, typical seaside cafe/restaurant. The diner seats about 100 inside and there are more seats outside (but under a cover). Although there are lots of seats there is plenty of room between them - good for buggy users. When we visited the restaurant was clean, service was prompt, the food good and was competitively priced. They do not display loads of ready made sandwiches etc. since they make things freshly to order. The menu is large, flexible and unpretentious. Outside the pier is an ice cream kiosk and on the opposite side of the road are public toilets which when we visited were very clean. | 1 |
lots of rides for children 3plus and wrist band is good value to, has a large arcade and a soft play area making it double the fun. | 0 |
can feel cold and noisy.bowling is good, children enjoyed rides. staff dont always seem like it is where they want to be, not much job satisfaction cafe is nearly always empty so have to wait long time for anything hot. better than clacton pier, the beach is better than clacton. no parking have to park in town and walk down to pier. toilets nearby which is handy. also toilets in bowling alley. bowling alley often lanes are not working properly and one member of staff trying to do everything from repairs, to serving food to taking money etc when bowling, could do with more staff.cant think of anything else to say. | 0 |
it's like stepping through the alley in 'goodnight sweetheart' but being transported back to the late 70's/early 80's. we used to go on family day trips to frinton and then to the pier in walton when i was a kid and usually you go back to these sort of places 20 years on and keep remarking about what has changed. not at walton pier, its all exactly as i remember it and in need of a bit of a renevation | 1 |
We really enjoyed the two penny slots, the walk along the pier is wonderful on a sunny day. Also really nice just sitting and watching the fishing. | 0 |
this pier was disappointing as it is quite a long pier but they use less than a quarter of it. Does not seem like any care is being put into it overall.. | 0 |
If you are in Essex and you want an old fashioned place to spend some time, try Walton it has all the history a pier that is full of kids stuff, and when the sea goes out one of the cleanest safest, beaches in the country. | 0 |
What a state, I use to be proud of the pier, now its shabby. Pirate Pete which was great for young children has now closed. The arcade is full of dated slot machines that could do with a clean.Some of the staff seem to have given up! Try harder Walton pier or you will lose it completely to Clacton pier, I hope its not too late. | 0 |
Great for families-lots of rides for smaller kids. We loved the arcades-never seen so many 2p machines in our lives!!! | 0 |
main cafe not open which was quite dissappointing staff very good | 0 |
not really our thing amusements the wooden pier was poor quality old the life boat at the end is of interest. | 0 |
Lovely rides for the little ones and a good bowling alley for the older ones! | 1 |
We used to go here when we were young in those days they had the train to the end of the pier still a magical place to visit | 0 |
we like the rides on walton pier and the bowling alley,good fun night out | 0 |
Well , being Malaysian, we just love our food and junk foods.During my visit to Sekinchan, I decided to drop in at Ah Ma's house to see whats all the fuss about. Not bad, really, you get to buy biscuits, snacks,teas and the kids had a great time choosing their snacks. Besides that they have a display of som antique stuffs.Not bad really, I would love to go there again. | 0 |
It's bring back my childhood life memories. Lots of oldies stuff displayed. The place is easy to locate & it's surrounded by the vastness of padi's field. You may also visit the padi's farm factory nearby. | 0 |
nothing interesting and no idea why locals are streaming here.Nothing to look for except tidbits.Some workers were making Kueh kaput (egg biscuit) normally a staple for new yearDon t waste your time stopping by.the local tourist info does not seem available . if you are a foreigner ,skip this place ! | 0 |
Yesterday 16Jun19 we reached right at their door step on 1755 (5:55pm) and the staffs don't allow us to enter into their shop as they started to close down their shop. The official working hours that I read from web is stated from 9:30am to 6:30pm everyday. I do explained that we came so far from Penang and they also don't care. What type of service they provide to customers? | 0 |
This is a place with antique furniture that sells traditional snacks/sweets and local drinks such as guava with plum/lo han go.The place has a nostalgic ambience as it is decorated with traditional house furnishings. | 2 |
A house which is selling local snacks which you can get them everywhere. Tv host likes to visit here for shooting, then it becomes famous. Honestly said, nothing much to do here unless you want to buy fresh and handmade cookies. | 0 |
This place sells alot of my childhood snack with reasonable price.They also have some old furniture for photo session/resting.Next to this shop is padi field and you can take some photos here too if there are lesser cars. | 0 |
A shop that selling biscuits and a little souvenir. This shop keeps & display some old memories items which is a good idea for photography purposes. Goods prices is slightly expensive for local travelers. | 0 |
This place is like a time capsule. Besides the local delicacies sold here, younger generation can see antique typewriters, tv, phones etc.. from the 60s to 80s. | 0 |
It's part of the scenery but it's somewhat expensive and not worth the visit. They are selling some tidbits and local stuff but pricing is comparably expensive. As for the food stall next to them, you can order drinks, cendol, rojak & etc but totally not worth the pricing.Suggest: stop for 15-20min (max) and that's all. There is another ah Gong's opposite this shop but given the impression that both may be the same (in terms of pricing & value) I skipped immediately. | 1 |
a touristy place selling some traditional biscuit and souvenirs at Sekinchan.Old fashioned TV set/radio/clock inside the house,it's interesting! | 0 |
It's just locate in the middle of paddy field. Found out many snacks and small games which is totally can recall my childhood memories, excited.. Here also got selling those wooden mould to make the traditional Chinese pastry-- anggu kuih! You can surely get your hand letter for your beloved one from here. | 1 |
This is a place selling traditional biscuit and malaysia local stuff. They closed very early like 5pm. Very easy to located the place.It is one of the tourist attractive when u are in sekinchan. | 0 |
ah ma house, selling some local snacks...nice for those who like the snacks...here also they sell the kuih bahulu which is very nice...must try... | 0 |
Visited this place since it was there when we visited Sekichan. A simple set up nicely spruced up after the recent visited by the Sultan of Selangor. Typical tourist outlet with souvenirs & local delicacies.... plus a small corner housing a collection of memorabilia of days gone by.... nice! Watch the ladies making kueh kapit the traditional way and tasted it fresh.... cannot get it any fresher. | 0 |
Nthg much. Only souvenirs and some classic stuffs. Good for younger generation to know more about local culture. Sells cookies and biscuits as well | 0 |
Nothing special, though we did find the 2 ladies baking the love letters using the metal tools over burning coal to be really interesting.This was a shop selling local foodstuffs with some photo opportunities.Outside, there are some antique vehicles, although you would have to pay to take pictures with them. | 0 |
Whilst this is predominantly a touristy place to get some good local delicacies and souvenirs, the display of the antique furnitures and product wares from days-gone-by certainly brought back nostalgic memories of my childhood days. Perfect place to rekindle the memories and educate the young ones about the glorious days before the smart phone technology! Ding dang chocolates anyone? | 0 |
If you are 1960-80 born local, this place is memories of village childhood. This shop has different snacks which represent 70-90. | 0 |
A small shop selling snacks and foods. You will see tourists coming here during peak seasons. Car rental available too. | 0 |
Excellent experience. Eva was really helpful and accommodating. I had 2 pairs of work trousers made at a great price. Perfect first fitting. Also a leather jacket which was also great. Highly recommended. | 2 |

Next to that they are very fast. The fitting was the next day for four clothing items! They were very critical themself in what had to be adjusted. Very professional! My mom was helpt by Katie. Also very professional, kind and knowledgeable. | 1 |

Kim at Blue Eye Tailor made me the best fitting suit I have ever worn. She was extremely helpful and had many insightful tips for me throughout the whole process.I definitely recommend that you visit! | 2 |
My girlfriend bought several items of clothing from Blue Eye Tailor, and I got a bespoke, linene Henley shirt for a great price thanks to Emma in the store. The staff are incredibly friendly, helpful, and patient - and the store is open 12 hours a day, so they work damned hard just for the convenience of the tourists who come to Hoi An.I have a lovely shirt, tailor fitted in a material and design of my choosing, for the price of an off-the-shelf shirt in an average high street store found in England.The biggest problems you'll face is either trying to stop yourself from going overboard, or trying to fit all your new clothes into your backpack...The store keeps your measurements for two years, so you can email/WhatsApp the stafg to get more clothes made and shipped home - something I'll definitely be doing from now on!Thanks Emma, and co.! | 1 |
Kim was very helpful finding the right fabric for my two tailored long sleeve shirts. She took measurements and made a fair price. The day after I was able to try them on the first time and we agreed on some adjustments that were realized the same evening(!).Quality seems good and the service was nice and friendly. I can recommend this tailor. | 0 |
Came in with my partner to get his suit made, and ended up getting a dress made! Eva was a fantastic help and made sure everything fit perfect. My dress turned out very nice! I would recommended others to come. | 1 |
I came in and spoke with Eva to have a suit made. Reasonable price for a Vietnamese suit, alterations were made on multiple visits until I was happy, and the whole ensemble came out looking great. I would definitely order another one from here. | 0 |
I had a phenomenal experience at blue Eye Tailors getting a suit made. A woman named Eva helped us get the suit and she was gracious and generous and caring.She even left her home while off duty to come in and make an alteration to the suit, I am Shook. Eva fixed one of my favourite shirts that had a rip in it. Free of charge. Couldn’t recommend enough. | 0 |
Came here to get a suit and three shirts, the women who worked here are very fun and great to work with. Emma helped me to find the best style and colour, and I could not be more happy with the results, highly recommend. They even helped fix some of my other shirts with rips for no extra cost. | 1 |
I'm delighted with the service and the suit that I got here. Eva who served me was extremely helpful; providing honest advice when needed but still giving me space to make my own mind up. I'm also delighted with the quality of the tailoring. Definitely would recommend! | 1 |
Lovely experience. Ty sewed a gorgeous cocktail dress for me. I love the fabric and it was done within 24 hours, including a fitting and alterations. Highly recommended! | 0 |
Thx to Sue, my personal tailor. I got two amazing suits which are getting sent to my Hotel in Hanoi. The staff is super friendly & helpfull. We always got water for free - when we came in to the shop. Yes the suits are more expensive then other shops but the quality is insane! Thank You again, can’t wait to order a mew one🙃🤩 | 2 |
The Lovely Miss Vi was wonderful in tailoring a woman’s blazer for me. She helped me by looking at photos I had brought in and made suggestions about things that she knew would look best for my body shape. They have a huge range of fabrics at Blue Eye and I was extremely impressed by the fast turn around (two days) which included drop off to where I was staying. Quality of the finished product excellent would strongly recommend a visit here. | 0 |
Blue eye was a great place to visit. All the staff were helpful to our group. I had a suit and jacket made by Kim and she did a wonderful job. It only took about 1 day which included the initial meeting, a fitting the next day and then receiving the final pieces that night and I was very impressed with the quality. | 0 |
Sue was amazing, helped me greatly! Deserves a pay rise. Was also very happy with the quality of my dresses. | 0 |
Blue Eye is a great shop in Hoi An. Laura was wonderful and receptive in helping me construct the shirt that I wanted. The shirt had a scratch on it, but it may have been a result of the fabric. | 0 |
We went to Hoi An with a list of possible tailor shops of which Blue was not one. However we met some fellow holiday travellers who had just come from there and had a good experience. My husband had 2 suits and 2 shirts made. All beautifully fitted and tailored. And I had some long and short sleeved Ao Dai’s made ( the traditional Vietnam long and mid length tunics - pronounced Ow Yeay) in gloriously coloured silks. A very difficult choice!I would say Blue falls into a middle range category of tailoring. They were not as up market or as highly priced as Yaly (still reasonable in western terms) but more of an ‘outfit’ and more expensive than the down to earth simple family tailor we also went to Faifoo. Staff as very friendly and helpful. If something is not quite right they were happy to help. Fittings are daily. Clothes finished in 3 days. We had a very nice shopping experience there. | 2 |
I had an absolute wonderful time at this shop! I was helped by Kim and she was so helpful in picking out the right clothes for me. Very honest in what would look good on me and what not. I ordered two dresses and one skirt and I am absolutely in love with them. And it's incredibly how fast your clothes are ready. | 1 |
Had a very good experience with Ty! Very friendly service and the dress looks amazing! They can exactly make it as you wish for example by showing a picture. Nice and good looking materials and fast service | 0 |
Went in the morning to this tailor and came back in the evening. A beautiful dress was already made in the evening. Very friendly host Eva. | 2 |
My wife ordered a dress at 1pm and when we went back for a fitting at 7 it was all ready and no changes required. Lovely service. 3 Other members of our group also successfully bought a range of clothes. Thanks to Ty for a v enjoyable experience as well as a new dress. | 0 |
Absolutely wonderful service and the final pieces of clothing were amazing! Emma was great and ensured that I was happy with everything. Everything was done super quickly as well! I will definitely order more clothing via email. | 1 |

I was lucky enough to be on a tour through Vietnam with Intrepid travel. They recommended this tailoring shop. I bought four items of clothing, habd tailored for a very reasonable price. Bim, my tailor delivered an excellent product. She was extremely sensitive to my needs, the next day I came back for a fiiting. Only 2 things need very minor adjustments. Bim dixed rhem in a jiffy and I was on my way. What an excellent experience. This is true high quality service. Thank you Bim for your attention to detail and your wonderful service@ | 0 |
I odered a suit made from cashmere wool and silk. Trousers, jacket and a vest. It is completely tailor made. | 0 |
Wanna look like a million bucks? This is the place to go. Honestly had a fantastic time getting spoiled with all the different choices. Quality of the fabric was also top notch. Shout out to Eva for making me look like I own three Ferraris and a beach house in the Maldives. Great service, great products. | 0 |
Great place with such a nice staff. Laura was very sweet and helped me getting new pants and shirts. I can definitely recommend this place if you need new high quality clothes | 0 |
The best tailorshop in Hoi An for sure. Service was excellent from the moment we came in and we had so much fun with the tailoring. The ladies were all very nice and the communication back and forth between us the customers and the tailors was very easy. Especially the tailor that took care of me, named Ty, made the experience very comfortable and easy. And of course my shirts were all a perfect fit the first try :)Would recommend!Cheers | 0 |
My husband had a shirt made at Blue Eye and we’re very happy with the result! Laura was professional and kind. Thanks so much! | 0 |
With an abundance of tailor shops it is overwhelming to decide on styles, fabric and where you what to invest your time and money. My husband and I worked with Vi at Blue Eyes Tailor. Vi is very skilled, knowledgeable, kind and no pressure. She was truly a pleasure to work with. My husband had pants made that fit perfect on the first fitting, just adjusted the length a bit and ready in no time. Next time in Hoi An this will be the place we return to! | 1 |
Wonderful service by Eva! Had a coat made for me and both color and fit was spot on from first fitting! Everything was done in 24 hours and very smoothly! Thank you so much Eva! | 2 |
