Why Choose a West Mersea 01206 Phone Number?

About West Mersea and the 01206 Area Code
West Mersea is the principal settlement on Mersea Island, the most easterly inhabited island in England, reached via a tidal causeway called the Strood from the mainland near Colchester. The island has been inhabited since Roman times, as evidenced by the Mersea Barrow burial mound, and today it is best known for its outstanding oysters and seafood. The Mersea oyster fishery has operated for over a thousand years, and the annual Mersea Island Regatta and seafood festivals are highlights of the local calendar.
The town's waterfront along Coast Road is lined with beach huts, houseboats, and seafood restaurants that draw visitors from across Essex and London. West Mersea also has a thriving sailing community centred around the Dabchicks Sailing Club and West Mersea Yacht Club, making the most of the sheltered waters of the Blackwater and Colne estuaries.
With a resident population of around 7,000 that swells considerably during summer, West Mersea offers businesses a distinctive and memorable local identity in one of Essex's most characterful coastal communities.
