Southend

Enjoy seaside fun and adventure and a very long stroll down the pier!

There are plenty more things to do in Southend than soaking in the seaside nostalgia, although there’s lots of fun to be had doing that! Stroll along the wooden 1.34 mile long pier (or take the shuttle train) and be rewarded with stunning views at the end; ride the roller-coasters at Adventure Island; rent bikes and cycle along the seafront, go bowling at the art-deco Kursaal, eat top notch fish and chips on the beach; or check out the latest cutting edge art at Focal Point gallery. Or try one of the many beautiful bars overlooking the water for a refreshing drink. Southend offers an exciting mix of traditional seaside entertainment, plus plenty of shopping and eating opportunities to enjoy fun filled days in this popular resort.
