For a day at the coast a trip to Mersea will not disappoint. Mersea gets cut off for about an hour when there is a very high tide, usually once a month, so it’s worthwhile checking the tides, all adding to the uniqueness and charm. It is a beautiful island with lots of coastal and nature walks, seafood restaurants with the famous Mersea oysters, delis, take aways and a supermarket. Why not visit Mersea Island vineyard and brewery where a beer festival is held at Easter and you can buy real ale, wines and even Mersea Island gin. The Mersea Regatta, which has been running since 1838, is held every August and should not be missed. If you are looking for a more traditional seaside town with amusements, rides and candyfloss then pop along to Southend-on-Sea or Great Yarmouth. Pub within a mile.
These properties can be booked together to accommodate up to 10 guests.
