Opening Hours

At Mersea Water Park, we understand that adventure doesn’t have a clock, but we do! Our opening hours are designed to help you make the most of your visit, whether you’re eager to hit the water first thing in the morning or prefer to unwind as the sun sets over the lake. Explore our schedule to find the perfect time for your next paddleboarding excursion, kayaking adventure, or simply to enjoy a delicious meal at the Lakehouse Bar and Diner. We can’t wait to see you here, making memories that will last a lifetime.
