Welcome to Thorpe Bay Angling Association

We were established in 1970 as a sea angling club in Thorpe Bay, Southend-on-Sea, Essex, England.

Our activities cover Beach, Pier and Boat angling matches, mainly in Essex, Kent and Suffolk.

Successful participant members accumulate points on a match by match basis towards trophies presented annually.

The club is a member of The Angling Trust .

We may also organise Southend Beach and Southend Pier Open competitions.
