(CO5 8PB) West Mersea - 116 Coast Road

Closed to vehicles, filled with boats on the hard, check before you waste a journey

Started off fabulous. Enjoyed a beautiful winter sunset... and come midnight had to make a mad dash to escape an unusually high tide. Still highly recommend.

Lovely sunset in the evening and no bother from local people going about their work, fishing and working on boats. We were even helped by the traffic warden with the paying machine.

Nice working fishing & boating village , car park has toilets & plenty to see , loads of bins ,we stayed on a Monday night & there were still cars & motorcycles using the car park till about 1 am but they wasn’t to noisy but you could hear them , would stay again as the views were great with lots going on out to sea .

Nice spot with a well maintained public toilet which is open from 8am - 8pm. Quite busy in sunset hours but we found a spot fairly easily, busy during the day and spaces are limited. Free after 6pm til 8am, plus an hour free.

Fantastic view across the water! There was no mention of any overnight charge for parking and toilets were closed at 8pm. It was kids’ sailing evening on a Monday so the car park was quite busy until between 9 and 10pm. After that, very quiet with the odd passing car on the road adjacent to the car park.

Beautiful view, tiolets right next to car park open 8am, cafe directly behind with a little shop. Got a breakfast box of hot food in the morning. Really quiet overnight, lots of people coming and going in daytime.

Nice views, currently free from 6pm to 8am but at some point they will put back the night tariff. free the first hour. there are free public toilets but the close very early, they are open from 8am to 6pm.

Perfect overnight but forget it during the day.

Great location and views, busy even now in January in a lockdown. people coming and going to look at the sunset. paid £5 from 3pm to 6pm though! hope it is actually free after 6 or I'll be moving. toilets are clean but close early.

It’s Essex ! The usual dumb boy racers, who have ZERO thought for others . This is often the case with Essex park ups:(.

Best spot in area, but very very busy, had to wait around over an hour to get a spot which in a large vehicle you will see is tricky in itself. But no where else was free either on the island. Nice view and lovely sunset facing location. Toilets ok, just the overall hustle and bustle and struggle to find a spot that knocked a star off

One of the best views around here.. but quite busy because of it. I've read sign and it mentions overnight tarif but unable to buy an over night tariff via mipermit (737702) it doesn't let you so I'm assuming it's free until 0800.

Beautiful views and quiet at night but very busy during the day (at least on a nice summer weekend). First cars arrived at 7 am to go sailing then quiet for an hour then full of cars and people from 8 am onwards. No parking spaces free between 9 am and 7 pm.

Free after 6pm until 8am. Also currently offering 1 hour free. Got pretty busy overnight when we stayed with fisherman coming and going.

Busy with people eating chips and enjoying the view on the early evening. Went quiet for an hour then it’s a gathering for boy racers. Shame. Voices outside are always disconcerting. Overall ok. Toilets next door to car park. Nice view. Good spot for a daytime stop.

Great place to stay and free after six

Make sure it won't be a very high tide. We had no problem when we stayed. Lovely place.

Déconseillé pour un grand camping-car, pas de place à 17h

Many amazing restaurants good oysters, sea food, peaceful location, friendly locals.
