West Mersea is a picturesque island found in between the river Blackwater and river Colne estuaries, located in the countryside to the south of the historic roman town of Colchester. Accessible via The Strood Causeway which floods at high spring tides, Mersea Island feels like an adventure from the moment you arrive. With beautiful beaches, a good choice of restaurants, pubs, and cafes there is a vibrant coastal community surrounding the local boat yards, sailing clubs, water sports and lifeboat station. Free parking space at the accommodation. There are also car parks located near the beaches.
