Latest indications suggest Southend Pier will remain closed to the end of March following an incident on Friday 17/02/12 involving a fishing boat. The Visitor Information Centre is open as usual.
The Visitor Information Centre (VIC) is located inside the Pier's award winning entrance. The VIC provides a number of services including the facility to book local events and coach/boat trips.
With a choice of location from where to fish on Southend Pier - the Stem or the Pier Head - it's a great place for anglers who could land mackerel, plaice or flounder.
