In West Mersea, you’ll find sandy beaches, shops, restaurants and pubs. If you’d prefer to visit wild natural beaches and large open spaces, then East Mersea could be perfect for you. With something to suit everyone’s needs and preferences, Mersea is a popular choice for individuals and families looking for a new home. If you’re planning on taking a trip to Mersea to check out the area, it’s important to remember to check the tide times. A high tide can cover the only road in and out of the Island.
