Advantages: great old fashioned sea side town

Disadvantages: perhaps over commercialised now

My mum used to bring me to Southend as a treat when I was little,so it will always hold a place in my heart!

I remember strolling along the sea front, skimming pebbles in the sea and then grabbing some chips to eat or stopping in the 3 shells cafe for hot doughnuts!

I still like to visit Southend, although as with all places, times have changed it. It is still great for a stroll along the seafront and then perhaps have some fun in a few of the arcades.

For the children there is also, of course, Adventure island.... a must to visit for mine, and the sea life centre is a popular choice too..... not forgetting the famous pier : the longest pier in the world at well over a mile long.

The Royals shopping centre is great too, with all the usual high street stores such as Boots, Primark, debenhams and many more.

Southend boasts somethng for everyone and is a real fun seaside town!

Summary: something for everyone
