The beach was absolutely delightful! On August 13th, 2022, there was a celebration of Jamaican independence and Southend's City Status, which added a lot of color and excitement to the atmosphere. The food, music, and funfair activities for children were all fantastic. Afterward, I had a great time cooling off in the salty water. 😊
