Tides Of Chalkwell

Between Old Leigh and Southend on the scenic Chalkwell seafront, Tides of Chalkwell is the kind of laid-back café that’s made for beach days and breezy strolls. Whether you're popping by for a coffee, grabbing an ice cream, or picking up a toy for your four-legged friend, this friendly little spot has you covered.

A Bit of Everything, Right by the Sea

Small but full of heart, Tides serves up a range of hot and cold food, refreshing drinks, and all the seaside essentials — from beach toys for the kids to dog toys and supplies for your pup. It’s a go-to pitstop for locals and visitors alike, whether you're fuelling up for a walk or winding down with a treat.

Dog-Friendly & Full of Good Vibes

Dogs are more than welcome here — they’re part of the crew! There’s always fresh water and free biscuits for furry visitors, and plenty of outdoor seating where you can sit back and soak up the sea air with your pooch by your side.

It’s casual, coastal, and always served with a smile — exactly what you want from a seaside café.
