No-strings fun for adults in Harwich, from the old town on the peninsula to Dovercourt.

Hookups near you in Harwich, the town "for the Continent"

"Harwich for the Continent" was on road signs and railway adverts for years, and regular ferries still sail from the port at Parkeston to the Hook of Holland.

The old town stands at the end of a peninsula where the Stour and Orwell estuaries meet the sea, a conservation area of small alleys and 18th-century frontages hiding older buildings, with a sailmaker's house thought to date from around 1600 in Kings Head Street. It became a naval base in 1657 and was heavily fortified, with the Redoubt, Beacon Hill Battery and Bath Side Battery among its defences. Dovercourt, half a mile west, has been counted as part of Harwich for centuries and now has the main shopping centre.

Every October the International Shanty Festival brings concerts, singarounds and pub sessions to town, with audiences from across the country and abroad. If you're after a hookup, a festival gives you strangers, music and an easy reason to start a conversation.
