The way points of this running / walking route:
Just start anywhere on the Esplanade.
I'm doing the run on the sea front. But it is perfectly possible to run on the greensward instead
After the pier you may want to hop up on the road or stay on the beach depending on tide, weather etc.
Make sure you are going UP here not staying at sea level
On the Naze you can continue to descend to the tip or turn around and stay in the nice grassy bits
It is possible to turn Left on Turpins Lane if you want a shorter run. There is a footpath that takes you back to the main Frinton/Walton road
You can go straight on here. BUt running through the estate is more pleasant IMO
At the mini roundabout there is a path opposite that takes you to Crossfield way
After going over the level crossing you can take any of the avenues back to the esplanade depnding on how much more running you feel like doing
