Mersea Island Holiday Park | Discover Essex's hidden island escape

Cross the causeway onto Mersea Island and you'll instantly feel the pace slow down. Surrounded by the Blackwater Estuary, this charming island is all about fresh sea air, peaceful beaches and making time for the moments that matter.

Tucked away beside Cudmore Grove Country Park, Mersea Island Holiday Park is the perfect base for exploring one of Essex's best-kept secrets. Spend your days strolling along the coastline, discovering scenic walking trails, spotting wildlife or simply relaxing on the beach with your favourite people.

If your four-legged friend is joining the adventure, they'll be right at home too. With miles of coastal walks, dog-friendly beaches and plenty of open space to explore, Mersea Island is a paradise for pups as well as people.

Whether you're planning a family holiday, a romantic escape or a relaxing weekend away, you'll find everything you need for a memorable coastal break.

Facilities

There's plenty to enjoy without even leaving the park. Take a swim in the indoor heated pool, let the little ones burn off some energy in the adventure playground, or unwind with food and drinks at The Muddy Duck Clubhouse. You'll also find a well-stocked shop, laundry facilities and direct access to the beach and slipway, making it easy to make the most of your stay. Seasonal entertainment and activities add even more fun throughout the year.

Accommodation

From comfortable caravans to unique exclusive stays, there's an accommodation option for every type of getaway and every budget.
