A little history

Our first Beach Hut love ‘Delilah’ took off in a way we could only dream of. Bookings were filling the diary to the point we were turning down many of our lovely guests’ requests. So, there was only one thing to do – find another perfect beach hut.

Little Miss Sunshine was a beach hut that caught my eye the first time I visited Walton on the Naze in the early summer of 2021. I even have a photo of my daughter standing in front of her with a beaming smile.

When we saw this delightful beach hut was ready for a new owner– we jumped at the chance and within 24 hours she was ours. It took me a few days to get used to the idea, but on 29th June 2022 with her new name – Little Miss Sunshine went live and available to book out.

What to expect

What better way to start the year with a date in the diary for the spring/summer months to come.  Take a well deserved rest with friends or family. Enjoy a beautiful relaxed day at our beach hut, where you can contemplate the unbroken beach views in comfort.  It holds a maximum of eight people. Get comfortable in one of the chairs provided, set up the tables, and enjoy your picnic lunch while being lulled by the ocean scene.

 A day at Little Miss Sunshine is sure to bring a smile to your face – however big or small you are.

Situated on the front row of South Cliffe Promenade, halfway between the pier and the corner turning into Frinton – she is perfectly positioned.

Her bright red and yellow exterior with a welcoming rainbow on the door and happy sunflower on the apex will draw you to this beach hut whether you want it to or not!

The interior continues this sunshine theme throughout, and children love spotting rainbows and rays of sunlight as they venture inside. Spot the stained glass sun and sea feature when you first enter Little Miss Sunshine. These are commented on by passers -by more than anything else. You may even recognise them from a well known design programme!!

It has been beautifully designed so once you throw open the bi-folding doors, your view for the day is breathtaking. Golden sand, the ocean waves and as much people watching as you fancy.

You can pop a couple of chairs directly outside the hut and have the best seats in the house without venturing onto the promenade. Alternatively you can put all the seating and tables directly on the prom at the bottom of the steps (there are 7 in total) and enjoy being part of the holiday vibes along the prom.

Steps leading down to the beach are directly in front of Little Miss Sunshine.

We guarantee as day trippers to Walton stroll past they will look up at Little Miss Sunshine and smile, often with a comment or two. She truly is eye catching.

Side by side huts for larger parties

Little Miss Sunshine and Wilma are the perfect beach huts if you have a large group of guests. Ideal for a birthday celebration as can cater for 16 guests maximum including children.

Tables can be placed on the promenade with chairs around them for a sociable area without blocking people walking along the promenade. We do ask that you are courteous and thoughful at all times with regards to this.

Please feel free to get in touch if you have any questions regarding the booking of side by side huts.

Who would Little Miss Sunshine be suitable for?

  • Families who love everything colour and fun. You’ll only be a few steps away from the beach and sea when your little ones insist on going back again and again!
  • Larger groups of friends or family who like everything close by – with only a few steps from the beach hut to the beach.
  • Couples who like being amongst the fun of the seaside but can watch from afar in the privacy of their very own seating area directly outside Little Miss Sunshine. By late afternoon, move your chairs down the steps and onto the promenade for a few extra hours of sunshine – perfect!
