Southend is home to two of the busiest RNLI Stations in Essex, one of which is at the Pier Head.

Southend Pier is the perfect "plaice" to while away the afternoon, and you're sure to catch a wide variety of fish.

If you don't fancy the walk, then hop on the Pier Railway! It'll have you from shore to end in ten leisurely minutes.

The Pier is in the heart of the Foreshore Nature Reserve, which stretches more than 8 miles from Leigh to Shoebury.

Come and explore the world's longest pleasure pier! From end to end, Southend Pier is packed with great things to see and do all year round!
