Discover the Fun at Chalkwell Tidal Paddling Pool

Getting There

• Car

  If you are traveling by car, head towards Southend-on-Sea and follow signs for Westcliff-on-Sea. Use the A127 road and then take the A13 towards Southend. Once you reach the seafront, turn onto Chalkwell Esplanade. There is limited street parking available near the paddling pool, so be prepared to look for a space. Note that parking might incur a fee depending on the time of day.

• Train

  For those traveling by public transport, take a train to Chalkwell Station, which is on the C2C line from London Fenchurch Street. Once you arrive at Chalkwell Station, exit the station and turn left onto Station Road. Continue walking straight until you reach the seafront. From there, turn right and walk along the promenade for about 10 minutes until you reach Chalkwell Tidal Paddling Pool. The pool is easily visible from the promenade. Please check the train's schedule for ticket prices and times.

• Bus

  If you prefer to take a bus, check for local services such as the number 1 or 9 bus that runs from Southend town center to Westcliff-on-Sea. Get off at the Chalkwell Avenue stop. From there, walk towards the seafront by heading down Chalkwell Avenue, and then turn right onto the promenade. The paddling pool will be ahead. Bus fares vary, so check the local bus service website for current pricing.
