Free ferry-side parking with accessible bays, lit paths, and direct access to Mersea Island ferry.
Free Car Park Point Clear is a council-managed surface lot serving the Point Clear area and Mersea Island ferry crossing. The facility offers 80 sealed gravel bays, including four accessible spaces located adjacent to the footpath leading to the ferry terminal and Marina. Parking is complimentary year-round; overnight stays are discouraged by signage. Solar-powered LED bollard lights line pedestrian routes from dusk until 9:00 pm to ensure safe evening travel. No CCTV is installed; however, local wardens patrol periodically during peak ferry times. Covered information boards display ferry schedules to Mersea Island, tide times, and local bus timetables for the 75 service to Colchester. Pedestrian pathways link directly to the ferry boarding area, local pubs, and waterfront promenade within a one-minute walk. Quarterly maintenance includes gravel replenishment, line repainting of bay markers, and litter clearance to maintain a neat, coastal environment.
