Along the seaftront there are amusements and a small amusement park with fairground rides at Southend.  The seafront has a small amount of sand.  Shops and fast food cafes abound in amongst the amusement options along the seafront.  Southend's Sea Life centre can make for a fascinating day out for all the family.  There are also a number of theatres in Southend.  The Cliffs Pavillion has particularly stunning views over the water and the bar at this theatre has attractive views.

Southend on Sea is a destination likely to appeal to families and those looking for fun by the seaside or a self catering holiday in Essex.  Southend is no well kept secret though and the town can get very busy during summer time.  Finding car parking is not always easy but you may find parking more quickly at the seafront just underneath Cliffs Pavillion away from the main seafront but this of course means a longer walk to the attractions.  Whatever the type of accommodation you are seeking, whether it be a self catering cottage or a log cabin to rent, we hope you find the right cottage for you here and that you have a fantastic self catering holiday in Southend.
