Brightlingsea
N/A
Took a ride out here from Colchester on a blowy morning. Only one food & drink offering which sadly was only taking cash. I imagine there would be much more life here on a sunny day

Really lovely place. Great atmosphere &lots of nice walks here. Good place for a day out.
Always a good beach and toilets are clean enough. The car park keeps changing but fine to park at, with plenty of over flow. Nice walks for the dogs, and a park for the children..
Lovely little seafront with quite a lot of space and areas for various activities so you do not feel on top of each other. Also look out for the friendliest cat who wanders around (George I think his name is, also is not homeless) the rock pool checking out all the crabs that have been caught!
We went crabbing with the grandchildren. Small beach area,(west promenade)with parking and toilet block but no cafe,apparently there will be new facilities here when the building by the lake is completed Brightly painted beach huts along the path next to the shallow beach area.The lido was closed and looked as if it needed some t.l.c,but all this is down to Covid lockdown as it was much better last summer . A short walk along the promenade brings you to the marina with a couple of pubs,shops and cafes and a boat across to the island A nice place for a couple of hours.
Lovely promenade of beach huts and sea views. Great for a short casual walk, some crabbing with children or enjoying some sea air..
A nice little place for a wonder, lots of beach huts (although currently some are scattered accross the car park due to the high tide back in Feb). The little beach area has a tidal paddling area which is good for the little people, there is also a boating lake and Lido further down the road, as well as a nice walk along the sea wall.
Brightlingsea beach is a backwater that's a bit frayed around the edges but still has plenty to offer in these Covid afflicted times. The beach area has plenty to amuse kids for free.You can go crabbing, kite flying and paddle in the sea water pool which has it's own beach. The toilets have been refurbished so are clean and fresh. Open air showers are available along with taps for fresh water. The lido is currently closed but work on it is underway. The boating lake is also shut due to restrictions along with the little museum but the place has a certain charm and I'd visit again. There's a thriving boating community in the marina area and a pleasant picnic facilities near the beach. You need decent weather as rainy day activities are in short supply. It however offers a good day out without the need to spend a fortune.
