Sea Life Adventure
Eastern EsplanadeOnce a busy fishing port, famed for its whitebait and shellfish, Leigh is an ideal spot for a day trip. It has old fishing village charm, coupled with the bustle of modern life. Leigh-on-Sea is also home to 'The Broadway', a thriving main street with a plethora of restaurants and cafes (from fine dining to fab chip shops), but it’s also home to an increasing amount of boutique stores and art galleries.
