    We had alot of relaxing, definitely not my kind of beach but we had fun. There were a lot of sea weeds and the public toilets weren't well kept. These are purely the doing of guest or visitors.

    Firstly where can I start, this lovely little seaside town has much to offer but let’s focus on my favourite things. I was truly amazed by the wide range of aromas in the air, one of these lovely scents was the urine, one could smell it as far as the nose could smell. It’s pungent decedent smell caressed every nook and cranny of this beautiful place. Secondly, the wonderful arcades. You would put in your own money just to win back one yes that’s right one sweet, what more could you want! And now for the highlight of my visit, this lovely kind and welcoming man. As we were walking down the beach path which may I add also was covered in diarrhoea god knows what beautiful creature produced it, we suddenly saw this glimmer of light, as we approached this heavenly beam we saw it was a bald man’s head shining bright in the autumn sun but the most spectacular sighting perused. This man was wearing the most beautiful thong one could ever lay eyes on, it’s vivid pink colour reflected on my retina. This thong left little to the imagination, everyone around was witnessing two lovely saggy cheeks. Next thing you know he turned around and was smiling at passers by. There’s only one way I can describe this sight….. jaw dropping. What a kind man with an amazing fashion sense. To conclude on this beautiful place I highly recommend it just for the divine sights and smells. Please do come and don’t forget to keep your eye’s peeled for a glistening head and pink thong.

    Lovely place, great for a weekend walk, if you have a dog it’s amazing they can run around. Enter the water at your own risk. My recommendation is having an ice cream on the beach sit down enjoy the fresh air and read a novel. It’s not a sandy beach more like pebbles and shells.

    Beautiful place to witness nature’s wonder. Can’t call it a beach, end of the great Thames river which flows through London. The water flows in during the high tide and flows out during low tide. One of the best experience waking on the sand during low tide, lots of people do it and wonderful time spent away from the land to witness some sea creatures. Parking available rite at the water front.

    So nice to find a beach that isn't too busy was only a day out but loved being by the sea for a while. Plenty of food places and a good long walk even if it is getting cold now

    This place has to offer a little bit of everything for all ages. Themed Park, arcade, a lovely walk by the sea or a nice swim in the summer times. Unfortunately it is not the best beach because most of it is covered in with a mixture of sand and pebbles (smaller rock). In the weekend and especially when it's hot outside it can be quite crowded. We had to walk about 20-25 minutes away from the Pier just to find a more aired spot to put down our blanket

    Great beach, right in the centre of everything from adventure island, sealife centre, pier, town centre etc. Dogs are now allowed on the beach between October through to end of April.

    Good beach, many shops within easy each plenty of food options as well as a great amount of parking can be costly free from 6pm. Also has a mini theme park with a few rides otherwise plenty of other children's amusements.

    A nice little beach in South End on Sea!! Wonderful walk on Beach with a cup of coffee and friends. Lovely weather. Must visit for the serene view of water and ships/ boats. Instagram reel makers would love this place for sure!!

    When we visited- it was a typical British summer - raining and no luck- But there is no sign of water - prefer south side of coastal area like Cornwall or Bournemouth. Will not waste the time again

  • 5/5 Miss P. 10 months ago on Google
    Nice beach ⛱ more shingles that sand but it's bearable to walk on. Close to London and very convenient and fast to get from and back to the capital,by train. And considerably cheaper than go to other beach sides by public transport. Great place to go with family and kids, tho it's busy place, but always can find some spot to land. Cafes along all the beach promenade and there is fun fair.Very long pier over the water. Public toilets available. Recommended place. 🙂

    Very nice cosy beach with pier view and nearby car park. The beside street js full of entertainment shops 😀

    Beach as such is not up to mark. Sand has lot of pebbles. Had lot of small insects so could eat on the beach and relax. Overall Southend has lot of activities to do.

    Open for dogs from October to May. Great beach. Park at Gunners park and walk the length of the beach

  • 1/5 Barbara K. 8 months ago on Google
    I do not recommend this very ugly and dirty place. The beach is very rocky and the water is very dirty. I'm in shock how teenagers can smoke around children playing on the beach. I've seen many beautiful sand beaches in England, but Jubille beach is a total mess. Car park for 8 hours cost 20f....that is absolutely joke!

  • 4/5 Mikey 8 months ago on Google
    The water isnt the cleanest and the sand is about 60% pebbles but when the sun is out its a great place to relax. Lots of shops and entertainment surround the area. I strongly recommend walking or taking the train down the pier nearby. The view of the beach from there is beautiful.

    Ended up here randomly after a trip to the mechanics.. Was a nice day, beach was surprisingly clean.. Probably couldn't say that about the water though

  • 4/5 Julia L. 7 months ago on Google
    Set at Southend, jubilee beach area has changed since many years ago when last there. Cannot get late night donuts, sad because just love the hot sugery treats. There have been some road layout changes also. Before two separate lanes for traffic, now combined and wider pathed areas beach side. BEWARE 15 minute stopping time only in bays immediately in front of beach front shops/arcades. There is a car park behind shops, which is a bit dark at night, but plenty parking spaces. Plus points : huge ice cream palour on a corner beside the smallest pub. The pub has the most amazing windows. Plus is there is a very large fish and chips restaurant, eat in or takeaway. My question is to all businesses, when there are customers around why then do businesses shut at 9pm??? Youre missing big selling opportunities. Not everyone wants, or is able to eat at 6pm or so. Love the sea and fresh air. The wind was bracing and therapeutic, the low moon was shining perfectly across the water.... amazingly beautiful, with the peir lights in the background x

    Wonderful day at Southend. Wonderful weather for mid October. Just a shame we can't take our dog during the summer.

😠 Awful! We travelled to Southend for the day to visit the beach and adventure park. It was very expensive to park £14 for 5 hours. The lagoon is heavily polluted with rubbish and the smell is awful I don't know ow who would let the kids paddle there as you can see the old drinks cans, bottles and oth...
