Mersea island is a great little spot off the coast of Essex. You can find every type of house, from century-old crooked english houses to luxurious beach villas. When you arrive in town, witch is basically 3 shops and a cafe... you can find a great little delicatessen shop where you can pack your bag with fresh baked bread, cheese and olives. If you head East on the island towards East Mersea, you will find a stretch of rainbow-coloured beach huts that goes on forever. You will also find the Mersea island vineyard witch also host a microbrewery. The stroll on the beach from East Mersea to the marina is great! You can hear the seagulls squawking and watch the boats sailing across the shinning water. Just pass Monkey beach, you will see boats sunken in the grass in witch people made their home. The marina of West Mersea is the main hub of the island. You can find many pubs and seaside restaurants. Amongst them is the famous Company Shed where you get enormous seafood plates and where you can bring your own bread and wine. The Oyster bar is also great with its outside picnic tables facing the ocean. My favourite part of the island are the narrow streets at the end of the path where you can see the cutest little old houses with a marine touch. There is also a great view of the river going in the ocean. Etienne trying to straighten the house... A great way to end the day is to go for tea or beer at one of the pubs and watch the sun dropping down behind the sails of the docked boats. Good bye Mersea, see you soon! xx
