Sea front car parks are already almost full at capacity as day trippers are heading to the coast.
Southend Council issued a warning about the parking at the popular seaside resort.
It comes after the Easter predicted heatwave hits Essex.
🚙 Popular car parks are filling up and Fairheads Green is full as thousands flock to seaside.
