If you're looking for a family break that brings you up close and personal with the seaside, Coopers Beach may be just right for you. The park is situated on the lovely Mersea Island, the Easternmost inhabited UK island, which has a long, fascinating history of its own. The facilities within the development are pretty impressive, with indoor and outdoor pools, children's club, sports and adventure playground, not to mention dining and a programme of entertainment.

The picturesque town of Colchester is close at hand, with a rich heritage and a lively cultural scene happening today. The wider area of Essex is home to the full range of British social life, with historical sights and unspoilt scenery combining with contemporary urban culture to make it one of the most distinctive regions in the UK. The Essex coast is peppered with charming towns and villages, complete with all the fun of the seaside.

"The swimming pool is lovely and warm and my children really enjoyed the kid clubs."

"Because there are great facilities for families yet enough space for those of us that want a reasonably quiet holiday."

"We had a wounderful long weekend with four little girls under 10. The high lights for them was the 'Miami Beach' experience in the pool on Saturday night with the lovely girl/woman you have working for you as a life gard at the pool, (she is a treasure you need to look after), catching crabs off the jetty in west mearsea and taking the ferry to Brightlingsea for fish and chips. Visiting Colchester zoo."
