"We travelled from Southend Pier to Red Sand Towers. Who knew these forts even existed! Really loved this tour . the crew were helpful and information given was really interesting. there were such good views of the the Red Sands forts and it was hard not to wonder at how life was on these vessels in WW2. i would recommend this trip ..
