Mersea Island, Essex

Mersea Island, Essex

A small island accessible by causeway, known for oysters and a working fishing community. The seafront, the oyster shacks, the boats, the fishermen. A very specific Essex world.

Best time: summer weekends. Weekday mornings for the working harbour.

Look for: the oyster shacks and the people eating at them. The boats and the harbour workers. The causeway itself at high tide.

Camera Settings

Any. Early morning light on the water is exceptional.
