Description
Set away from the main hustle and bustle of the seafront Chalkwell Beach is great spot for those looking for a quiet day but it is no less vibrant. With wide sand beaches, local facilities and kiosks and cafes offering a range of light refreshments, the promenade is always alive with visitors.
Keep Britain Tidy awarded Chalkwell Beach a Seaside Award in 2019 for well managed and maintained beaches. Chalkwell Station is just a 5 minute walk.
Chalkwell beach is a perfect spot for a good old fashioned, cheap as chips, bucket and spade holiday. A quiet stretch of sand between the more commercial pursuits of Southend and the quaint fishing village of Old Leigh, Chalkwell beach is classic British seaside territory – and the station opens out right onto it. Little ones will relish a day or two by the seaside, and the location couldn’t be more convenient for the adults – day-trippers big and small won’t find it a struggle to get home.

Features
When it’s time to eat, there are plenty of cafes, fish and chip shops, and ice cream huts – but the groynes are backed by a grassy area that’s ideal for a picnic overlooking the water, without getting sand in your sandwiches.
One of Southend’s beaches, Chalkwell offers a combination of sand, shallow waters, a seawater paddling pool and lifeguard services during peak times make the perfect environment for children to explore safely, casting crabbing nets and finding unusual shells to take home.
