Pennyhole Bottom
Tidal salt marsh and mudflats on Mersea Island offering wide estuary vistas, winding creeks, stranded boats and abundant waders. Shoot reflections and textures at low tide, dramatic skies and long sunsets across the Colne Estuary. Easy roadside access from Coast Rd; small laybys/parking nearby — bring boots for marsh edges. Best at sunrise or golden-hour sunset; low tide reveals patterns and wildlife. No entry fees; quiet on weekdays outside summer.
