About this activity
Southend Pier and Train is the longest pier in the world and has lots of things to do, including their train that takes you all the way along it!
The pier is a treasured iconic and stretches for 1.33 miles out into the sea! There's plenty to do all year round. Join in crazy golf on the world's longest pier on the 18 hole course!
You'll need to collect the clubs and balls from the ice-cream hut next to the golf course to play.
You can also uncover the history of the iconic landmark in the museum. They have an original 1890 tram and carriages, pictures and penny slot machines and lots more that will bring back fond memories with the older generations.
Take a ride on the railway too! Trains run on a half hour basis and is a 3ft narrow guage railway that runs along the length of the pier, allowing transport to the bottom. The train travels at around 8mph and you'll get spectacular views all around.
Make sure to wave at people as you go past them!
