Brightlingsea is part of the Cinque port; it was known to be Sandwich. We are a small town on the coast situated on the mouth of The River Colne.

To the west of Brightlingsea Creek is western Promenade where you find a line of beach huts, Skate Park, open

It’s a popular area for tourists. Batemans Tower is a local landmark by the sea where you can look out to West Mersea and catch the water taxi over to.

Brightlingsea is also known for its sailing and every year in July holds its own Pyfleet week and has an annual Regatta and boat show in June.
