All together now: "oh I do like to be beside the seaside, oh I do like to be beside the sea...." Southend on Sea, on the Essex coastline, is a quintessential British seaside town with all the trimmings you'd expect, plus the Longest Pier in the World at a whopping 2.14km.  It has an incredible seven miles of beautiful sandy beaches (including three blue flag beaches and seven quality coast awards), so it is no surprise that the majority of Southend's activity is focussed on the sand and seafront.   For thrill-seekers, Adventure Island Theme Park at the north end of the pier is well worth a visit, and for those who want to relax, the town has plenty of lovely manicured parks and places to sit and soak up the atmosphere.  The Cliff Lift - one of only few of Britains surviving funicular railways - was constructed in 1912 and is officially the shortest funicular railway in Britain at 130 feet! Southend on Sea is a fantastic place to come for a family holiday and there are so many different places to stay - from campsites to hotels - you are spoilt for choice.
