Canvey Island Transport Museum, run by the Castle Point Transport Museum Society, is a volunteer-led museum located at 105 Point Road on Canvey Island. It opens on scheduled Open Sundays, with volunteers on hand to show visitors around, plus a museum shop and model railway display when staffing allows. A building renovation project is ongoing, so some areas may be off limits during visits. There's no charge for entry on Open Sundays, though donations are welcomed to support the Society's upkeep and restoration work. It suits transport enthusiasts and families looking for a relaxed, low-cost day out. If you're staying nearby, Leigh-on-Sea station is two miles away, Canvey Island Foreshore beach is a mile away, and there are 14 bookable places to stay within five miles on BritStays.
