Description:
No wonder this is London’s most popular seaside resort and in winter, just right for a breath of fresh sea air. It has the world’s longest pleasure pier at 1.3miles (don’t worry – there is a train for the less energetic which runs every day) and the Adventure Island fun park with more than 40 rides and attractions (open daily until end September and every weekend from October). Younger visitors can enjoy the soft play experience at Kids’ Kingdom (open daily), while the Sea Life aquarium (also open daily) will inspire awe in all the family.
