Citorah says

Eat at the Company Shed on Coast Road — paper plates, BYO bread and wine, half a dozen native oysters around £15, cash-friendly, lunch only, queues from noon so go at 11:30 sharp.

From Best beaches near London 2026 — 8 worth the train, under “Mersea Island — the day-trip that floods”.

    Best beaches near London 2026 — 8 worth the train

    London's closest beach isn't the best. Eight beaches I'd go back to — Camber, Wittering, Broadstairs, Whitstable — four to skip, with 2026 train times.
