What guests say about Mersea Beach Hut 206
★★★★★ – Beth (Google Review August 2026)
We had the BEST day at Beach Hut 206. Thank you so much Jo. What a beautiful little hut! It was beautifully presented, amazing location for toilets and snacks. It had everything we needed including tea & coffee! We loved every minute and can’t wait to re book in the near future!
★★★★★ – Sarah (Google Review February 2026)
I’ve visited Jo’s beach huts on a couple of occasions now and they’re my favourite days out. The huts are kept to a high standard and very clean. They have everything you need and the instructions sent beforehand are really clear. Jo is also extremely helpful when I’ve had question. Thanks again, looking forward to returning!
★★★★★ – Dan (Google Review July 2025)
We had a brilliant time at Mersea for the day. The Beach Hut was much larger than we were expecting and pristine inside. It was the perfect base for the kids to play as it’s right on the beach and 5mins from a great little cafe. And when the sun was too much there was plenty of space to sit inside and play board games. We will definitely be back!

Practical Information and Amenities
Mersea Beach
West Mersea Beach is a hidden gem with sweeping views over the estuary. The beach is mainly sandy, dotted with shells to collect, and a few pebbles to add character. It’s the perfect spot for paddleboarding, watching sailboats glide by, or simply unwinding. It’s a place that offers something for everyone—whether you’re seeking fun or relaxation
Tide
The Strood (the main road on and off the island) can be covered at high tide so make sure you factor this in to your journey. To check tide times go to http://www.stroodcam.co.uk/ or https://www.tideschart.com/United-Kingdom/England/Essex/West-Mersea/. Or email me at jo@coolcoastalhuts.co.uk and I can let you know tide times for specific dates.
