Overview

This is the fifth and final section of the Thames Estuary Path. Much of the walk is on hard paths and promenade beside the beach. At Southend we walk out to the end of the pier (over 2 miles there and back, cost £2). Lunch on the pier, picnic or cafe.

After lunch we walk as close to the beach as possible (some areas are closed by MOD) before turning inland to Shoeburyness station.

No booking required.

Dogs on leads at all times.

The finishing time is an estimate only and will be dependent on a number of factors such as weather, the speed at which the group walks, and the number of breaks taken.
