We know that Southend-on-Sea now has access to affordable, secure storage, but let’s learn more about this coastal town.

“Southend”, as it is known, was originally a small fishing community but has developed into a buzzing town that boasts the longest leisure pier in the world. Bordered to the north by Rochford and to the west by Castle Point, what makes Southend-on-Sea so popular beyond its beaches? Its accessibility, for starters. It's a one-hour train ride from London. The two main roads running into Southend are the A127 and the A13 London Road. Secondly, it is home to endless cultural sites and entertainment offers.

The Sealife Adventure aquarium on Eastern Esplanade has over 40 fascinating displays of sharks, otters, penguins, meerkats and even monkeys. The Three Shells Beach and Lagoon on Western Esplanade is a wonderful option for families, too. Its central location places it at the heart of activity with Adventure Island rides and attractions and Southend Pier located here. The Pier extends 1.33 miles into the Thames Estuary, which earns it the title of longest pleasure pier in the world.

Southend-on-Sea was originally a group of shacks at the southern end of the village of Prittlewell. In the 1790s, the first buildings in what would become High Street were built. By the 19th century, the town had grown in popularity. After a visit from Princess Caroline of Brunswick, Southend Pier was constructed.

For a true English beach experience, nothing gets more authentic than Thorpe Bay Beach, known for its picture-postcard beach huts. It is the ideal place to escape the hustle of the main seafront. Jubilee Beach on Marine Parade is a hive for outdoor activities during summer. There are speed boat rides and many other amusements to enjoy. If you’re a local that enjoys water sports or are a business operator offering these services, you may be looking for secure storage to safeguard your goods in winter. easyStorage can help with cheap storage for water sports equipment.

A local gem of the Southend-on-Sea community is the Saltwater Beach Cafe on Chalkwell Esplanade. This family-run joint is a hub for the local community and serves excellent food and drinks, with vegan and gluten-free options. Another family-run establishment to support is Oliver's on the Beach on Western Esplanade. Oliver’s aim is to provide seasonal, homemade food for all customers to enjoy. After a delicious meal at the beach, ice cream is a given, and Scoops 37 at Marine Parade won’t disappoint.
