Harry Hut
Harry is a front row luxury beach hut sat directly on the sand on Mersea Island’s West Mersea Beach, a dog friendly sand and shingle beach perfect for exploring rock pools and collecting shells. Mersea Island is a well-kept secret off the Essex coast with beautiful and largely untouched coastal scenery. It is world renowned for its oysters and crab.
