West Mersea and the places nearby.
West Mersea is the main settlement on Mersea Island in the Blackwater estuary, reached by the Strood causeway, which floods at the highest tides. It is known for its oysters, sailing clubs and houseboats, and it draws summer visitors and second-home owners. The tide can cut off the island briefly, so trades need to plan visits, and island customers appreciate firms that know the place and say clearly that they come out here.
