Willoughby Avenue Car Park is a council-managed surface lot located off Victoria Esplanade in West Mersea, serving the seaside village and ferry terminal. The site offers 70 sealed tarmac bays, including four accessible spaces situated adjacent to the pedestrian access ramp leading to the Mersea Island ferry. Pay-and-display machines accept coins and contactless cards; tariffs are £1 per hour with a daily cap of £5 during summer (AprilSeptember), and free off-peak. Solar-powered LED bollard lights line pedestrian routes from dusk until 9 pm, providing safe passage for evening visitors. Two CCTV cameras monitor the entrance and accessible bays for security, particularly during peak tourist season. Covered signage at the entrance displays ferry schedules to Brightlingsea, bus timetables for the 75 service to Colchester, and tide times. Pedestrian pathways link directly to the waterfront promenade, local cafés, and the sailing club within a two-minute walk. Monthly maintenance includes line repainting, pothole repairs, and litter clearance to maintain a tidy coastal environment.
