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, so it’s worthwhile checking the tides. It is a beautiful island with lots of coastal and nature walks, seafood restaurants serving the famous Mersea oysters, delis, takeaways, a supermarket and child-friendly pubs with craft beer. 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?
