The Classic Southend-on-Sea Walk

Walk with us!

Either early in the morning or on brisk days when the seafront is deserted and open.

You feel as though you are snatching time others don’t experience. Starting at the Pier, head east along The Golden Mile past the famous Kursaal, keeping to the sea side of the shared pathway and keep going towards Shoebury noting the old Tram Stop from bygone days. Duck under The Marine Activity Centre slipway at low tide, taking in the seashore wildlife: oysters, soaring and flocking seabirds and even seals on the sandy banks. Continue on a faster pace, passing The Roslin Hotel, or maybe taking a break for afternoon tea! Keep Striding until you reach the The Thorpe Bay Lawn Tennis Club and make a return along the seafront as you wish. Enjoying an ice cream you so justly deserve!
