The Brightlingsea/Point Clear/East Mersea Foot Ferry is now in its seventh season, providing ease of access between the three communities for both local people and visitors to the area.
/> The Ferry provides not only a means of crossing the creek, but opens up opportunities to explore the attractions and facilities the area has to offer. The custom built ferry boat has a ramp which can be lowered to allow easy access for wheelchair users and cycles, as well as foot passengers using the service. />
Use of the ferry greatly reduces road miles - typically a round trip by road between Brightlingsea and Point Clear is 20 miles, which takes just 3 minutes on the ferry. The round trip by road to East Mersea is 40 miles, but only takes approximately 9 minutes by ferry.
