Thorney Bay Beach Playground, Canvey Island

Thorney Bay beach is a small, sandy beach cove area. There is a pathway surrounding the cove, making it accessible and buggy friendly. There are plenty of benches and picnic tables. The beach faces onto the Thames Estuary. Its a brilliant spot for ship spotting.


Next to the beach is a large flat grassy area with a playground. I love a beach playground, perfect for when everyone has had enough of the sand.

On our visit the bigger climbing frame was taped off. You could see some of the ropes were coming away from the metal frame.
