Facilities

Plenty of facilities for everyone to enjoy....

Mersea Island is a fantastic holiday getaway for couples, families, groups, the young and the young at heart, with views across the Blackwater Estuary which you can enjoy as you stroll along our private beach and take in the beautiful surroundings.

Our park facilities are nestled neatly together by the coast and include the Muddy Duck Clubhouse, a kids outdoor play area, small arcade and an indoor swimming pool, all blessed with views of the nature reserve and beach.

We’re adjacent to Cudmore Grove Country Park, a dog walkers paradise as they have so much space to roam freely whilst you take in the fresh sea air. We are a pet friendly park with plenty of space to walk them and can offer pet friendly caravan accommodation.

What are the rules and ages for unsupervised swimming?

At Mersea Island, our indoor pool is only lifeguarded during term dates. When a lifeguard is on duty, all under 8’s must be accompanied by a responsible person (16+ years), with one adult for up to 2 children aged 4-7 and one adult per each child aged 0-3 years old.

For non-term dates, we operate on pool respond only where the pool is not lifeguarded. Anyone under the age of 15 years old cannot swim unsupervised and must swim with a responsible person of 16+ years. Anyone between the age of 4-15 must have responsible person per 2 children and one responsible person per each child aged 0-3 years old.

The responsible supervisor must supervise the child/children in the water, and not from the poolside or elsewhere.

Indoor Swimming Pool

Recently converted from an outdoor pool, our new indoor heated swimming pool has a transparent conservatory-style roof over the top so you can still enjoy the natural beauty you receive of the landscape views! Providing the flexibility to have a splash about even in those rainy months.

Beach and slipway

The park has its own private beach overlooking the Blackwater Estuary where you can launch your boat or Jet Ski. Adjacent to the park is Cudmore Grove Country Park in East Mersea where there are some beautiful scenic walks to take.
