Overview

Located in a coveted row, this is the perfect beach hut in the perfect location. On Thorpe Esplanade (the second most expensive street in Southend!) between the Thorpe Bay yacht club and Maplin Way car park, this is a large hut in the best stretch of beach huts on the whole coast. The hut is on stilts so that the tide comes up under the hut... it is like being on a boat (good job there is a back door) and you can walk into the sea from the steps for a refreshing dip.

This is the posh end but you can walk a couple of minutes to Shoebury beach with its facilities including loos, showers, beach shop, cafe and ice-cream kiosk. This end of the beach does not get that crowded. In the summer holidays, there are more people, obviously, but generally, they avoid the beach hut when you are in residence. You will often have the beach to yourself when they go home and it is a lovely place to spend the early evening sitting on the balcony watching the sunset over the pier. If the tide is on its way out you can walk over the mud to the Mulberry Harbour - and swim in the pool surrounding it - always warm; Everyone who has rented the hut has loved it and wants to come back! Sorry, no large parties over 10 people - Happy Hutting!

Note: dogs not allowed in the hut nor on the beach.

We hired the beach hut for my daughter’s birthday and we were not disappointed! It’s the sweetest hut with everything we needed for a day at the beach. The beach hut’s location is near the public toilets which made the day easier. The view is beautiful especially when the tide comes in around the hut and you can walk straight off the steps into the sea! We will definitely be booking again :)

Thank you so much! We had a brilliant time and were really impressed with how much stuff was in the beach hut for us to use as well - everything had been thought of that you could possibly need! Looking forward to booking again. Thanks again :)

Great communication with the host. Very easy access from the carpark to load bags. A very quiet beach with no footfall from tourists. We had a perfect day there, lucky with two tides, easy access to the water for a swim.

Contact with vendor was good, we did find the gas bottle a challenge and gave up! Wa s a bit further form toilets than we thought, but I guess that’s news how himuts! Overall wonderful experience.

Arrival information & directions

Address: Front, Southend, Essex, Thorpe BayUnited Kingdom

Located opposite the car park at Maplin Way you can park literally 2 mins from the hut but then walk down the steps onto the beach and you are suddenly in another world. If you are coming by train it is about a quarter of an hour walk from Thorpe Bay station (an hour from London Fenchurch St on C2C line with many special offers) or you can get a taxi.
