South-end-on-sea, Essex

After a long time, we as a family got to go out and closest destination we could think of was South-end-on-sea. It was the easiest as we had a direct train line from Barking. And we got family room booked in Travelodge for 50£ a day!
South-end-on-sea is the quick weekend getaway spot for Londoners and a tourist destination. It has the longest pier of 1.5miles and you can take a small train to and fro. The Adventure Island makes it all the more colourful and attractive with various rides for all ages.
A small nice creepy town with lots of things to offer and with University of Essex, the student crowd made it all the more lively. The high street is pretty long with many stores and coffee shops.
We went at the end of October and with the typical English weather, it was still good. We had some sunshine and lots of cold wind. This place in summer would be really busy with a road lined with casinos and eateries on the sea front.
South-end-on-sea is a typical getaway from busy life.
