About Self-Catering Holidays in Brightlingsea
Brightlingsea is in north Essex on the sunshine coast which includes Calcton on Sea, Frinton and Walton on the Naze - a popular coastline for holidays and weekend breaks. The town is on the estuaries of Brightlingsea Creek and Colne which blend with the waters of the Blackwater and Thames Estuaries. A charming leisure area is close the river at Promenade Way where there is a boating pond, dozens of colorful beach huts, a paddling pool for children, an artifical sandy beach, swimming pool, skate park, popular cafe and childrens' playground. There is plenty of parking and toilets for visitors. The sailing club is in a prominent position near the ferry landing and harbour. Scores of small boats can be seen moored in the creek.
A former fishing town, renowned for oyster fishing, visitors can still enjoy oysters at the Rosebud public house. An award winning fish and chip shop with restaurant serves up traditional seaside fare at Scooby Snax (Tel 01206 306 542).
