Southend-on-Sea is a resort town in Essex, and has become a beloved staycation destination thanks to its waterside beauty. The town has seven miles of coastline, ensuring you're always near the beach. It’s an idyllic place to start the next chapter of your lives together, and get some photogenic pictures for the wedding album. Visitors always flock to the world famous pier, where you can enjoy gorgeous sunsets and traditional British seaside treats like candy floss and chips. For some culture, Southchurch Hall, a beautifully restored Grade I mediaeval moated house, provides a wonderful glimpse into Southend-on-Sea's history. Surrounding the town you’ll also find plenty of other photo opportunities, from gorgeous gardens to country lanes and out of the way beauty spots. And if you’re wondering about entertainment for the kids over a weekend-long celebration, the Adventure Island theme park and the mile-long railway are also big hits, especially during the sunny months.
