About

Shoeburyness occupies the easternmost point of Southend-on-Sea, where the Thames Estuary meets the North Sea. The area is characterised by its mix of residential streets, a small town centre, and extensive open foreshore. To the east lies the large Ministry of Defence training area, a significant and restricted part of the local landscape.

The coastline here is defined by wide, grassy commons leading to shingle beaches. A notable landmark is the distinctive black and white striped Old Ranges lighthouse, standing isolated on the marshes. The area's history is closely tied to its military past, with several former artillery batteries now repurposed along the shore.
