Southend on Sea

it’s compact and quite nice and the other ‘resorts’ are connected so you can just walk along. The locals are a little menacing and grumpy but just ignore them and enjoy the beach.

peter pans (now adventure island) is small?? just wanted to clear this point. it has more rides in it than chessington theme park!! bet ya didnt know that one :) oh and also they are revamping belse bobs and its going to be a proper haunted house with 3d graphics!

i love southend :)

hmmm some negative comments about my home town haha not impressed :/

jokesss, there is chavs here, yes, same as anywhere in the UK, lets be honest!

someone wrote Peter Pans is a very small theme park..its not small!!

and the only rides ive ever been scared of breaking down was the barracuda and that went years ago or the new 1 Rage…i went on it last week though and survived haha :)

i heart southend, leave it alone!:P:PXxx

It’s not awful or anything, I just wouldn’t go out of my way to visit it. The pier is nice, but it’s not really worth writing home about.

Go if you’re in the area.

The only thing I really enjoy about Southend is the nostalgia – and that’s all for the people, not the place. It’s nifty knowing that the pier is the longest pleasure pier in the world, but it keeps burning down! Peter Pan’s – a very small theme park – is mildly cool, but you have to avoid any ride that might actually be good since it’s got a high chance of breaking down on you. The Kursaal is okay – bowling’s good, arcade’s good – but the sheer number of chavs about make everything on the seafront pretty bracing. Just don’t get me started on the boy racers…
