Adventure Island may refer to:
Southend-on-Sea ( pronunciation ) (commonly referred to as just Southend) is a seaside resort town and wider unitary authority area with borough status, in Essex, England, on the north side of the Thames estuary 40 miles (64 km) east of central London. It is bordered to the north by Rochford and to the west by Castle Point. It is home to the longest leisure pier in the world, Southend Pier.London Southend Airport is located 1.5 NM (2.8 km; 1.7 mi) north of the town centre.
Originally the "south end" of the village of Prittlewell, Southend was originally home to a few poor fisherman huts and farms that lay at the southern extremity of Prittlewell Priory land. In the 1790s landowner Daniel Scratton sold off land either side of what was to become the High Street, and the Grand Hotel (now Royal Hotel) and Grove Terrace (now Royal Terrace) were completed by 1794, and stagecoaches from London made it accessible. Due to the bad transportation links between Southend and London, there was not rapid development during the Georgian Era like Brighton. It was the coming of the railways in the 19th Century and the visit of Princess Caroline that Southend's status of a Seaside resort grew. During the 19th century Southend's pier was first constructed and the Clifftown development built, attracting many tourists in the summer months to its seven miles of beaches and bathing in the sea. Good rail connections and proximity to London mean that much of the economy has been based on tourism, and that Southend has been a dormitory town for city workers ever since. Southend Pier is the world's longest pleasure pier at 1.34 mi (2.16 km). It has suffered fires and ship collisions, most recently in October 2005, but the basic pier structure has been repaired each time. There has been significant loss of pier-head facilities since the major fire in 1976.

This was three days after the flooding. Thankfully there was no evidence of the flood waters which left many shops flooded on the previous Saturday. This video recorded on Tuesday 27th August 2013

Flying above Southend Pier the landmark of Southend-on-Sea. Extending1.34 miles (2.16 km) into the Thames Estuary, it is the longest pleasure pier in the world. Sir John Betjeman once said that "the Pier is Southend, Southend is the Pier". The pier is also a Grade II listed building. Fly Safe! I had permission from Southend Pier, Southend Borough council and Southend Airport to fly around the Pier. I do not make or gain anything from my videos except experience and the love of flying drones. I will be making a future video promoting the work of the RNLI, in making that video I wanted some footage of Southend Pier. But for the moment I wanted to share the amazing views above the pier for you to enjoy. By way means anyone can use the footage if they want but I have to be credited. My Set Up....

Well, I know I don't have to be told
that the North wind is chilly and cold.
Well, I know.
Far from the South wind I ran.
Now, I'm a lost and lonely man.
Well, I know.
Had a little girl but she left me. (Repeat twice)
Well, I know.
She took the sun and left me the rain
And left me the sorrow and all of the pain.
Well, I know.
She took my love and left me torn.
Now, I'm lonely and forlorn.
Well, I know.
All of my love done left me. (Repeat twice)
Well, I know.
She told me someday she'd return
If the sun should freeze or the Earth should burn.
Well, I know.
But now she's gone and in the sky
The wind alone can hear me cry.
Well, I know.
Had a little girl but she left me. (Repeat twice)
