Tel: 01702 215620 email: vic@southend.gov.uk
If you walk along Southend-on-Sea’s High Street, towards the sea, your eye will be drawn in a straight line towards the longest pleasure Pier in the world.
Standing for over a century it extends 2.158 kilometres (1.341 miles) into the Thames Estuary, and is a well loved and recognised symbol of Southend and the pleasures of the English seaside.
With truly stunning 360 degree views all year round, Southend Pier is the perfect place to go for a taste of the invigorating fresh air, and experience the freedom of the sea or to simply spend the day fishing at Southend pier. At the Pier Head you can visit the active RNLI station and gift shop, relax and take in the fantastic views from the superb sun-deck or stop by The Royal Pavilion, which dominates much of the Pier Head and provides the perfect place for a drink and a snack from “Salt” the pier head cafe.
Throughout the year Southend Pier plays host to a number of fantastic events, from live music and puppetry, to spooktacular Halloween fun and even a visit from Santa, as well as visiting Tall Ships, which offer unique trips and a taste of the nautical life.

The longest pleasure pier in the world - 1.3 miles long. Still prefer Cornwall though.

This Sunday morning Brownes Thames Estuary Boat Trips were tasked to London Gateway (DP World) to assist the lifting in of a Racing Yacht that had travelled from Sydney in Australia. We departed Leigh On Sea at 08:30am & arrived on site at 10:00am with Ship Majestic on our horizon which was a fantastic view. The whole job was a great success with the crew boarding the ship & onto Starfish very safely. Everything went smoothly & all health & safety procedures were in place.
Thank you petersandmay for using our services. The whole job was very well organised & the communication was superb from start to finish.
Thank you to mylobrowne for joining me as crew for today`s task. Excellent job 💯👏
Looking forward to working alongside you again soon. Angus & Mylo ⚓🛟🛥️⛴️🚢🛳️

The same view, three ways. Playing with the options on my Alfie Tych Plus. I didn’t note which one was which (rookie error!) but I think these use the glass lens, pinhole and zone sieve - all subtly different but equally lovely in my opinion! #alfietych #alfietychplus #filmphotography #analoguephotography #southendonsea #southendpier #kodaktmax400

🌊Since its opening in 1835, Southend Pier has been the pride of the town, attracting visitors from all over the UK. However, this once vibrant seaside resort gradually fell into decline. The pier has now been transformed into a carbon-neutral social space, revitalising the tourist economy and restoring the civic heart of Southend.
In response to an international design competition, the winning entry, ’Sculpted by Wind and Wave’, envisioned the pier as a vibrant urban thoroughfare. Beginning as an extension of the main street, this public promenade leads to the head of the pier, where the Royal Pavilion - a cultural and visitor centre powered entirely by renewable energy, including wind power and seawater heat pumps - stands proudly.
Completed in 2012, this contemporary attraction with strong environmental credentials has restored civic pride to the city for over a decade. The Royal Pavilion’s modern design is a bold departure from Southend’s traditional architecture. Its form, in harmony with the windswept landscape, has once again made the pier a focal point for the town’s cultural life.
The design was developed and delivered in collaboration with London-based Sprunt and priceandmyers.
