Where to Stay

On Mersea Island itself you'll find a small number of hotels and B&Bs, many AirBnB rentals or Holiday Lets.  Also you have Holiday Parks with lodges or even camp sites.

 

Off the island there are many options also for the wider Colchester area accessible by taxi or car.

Things to Do

For those with time to spare over the weekend - we hope the weather in July will be glorious and mostly would recommend you enjoy the outdoors.  Mersea is famous for its quiet beaches (possibly jointly famous with the oysters) and swimming in the sea.  On top of that you have great food, Mersea Island Vineyard and Brewery.​
