Brightlingsea Ferry

A Memory of St Osyth.

Back in the 1950s, as an extended family, we always went to Jaywick Sands for our summer holiday. A regular walk undertaken was along the beach to Point Clear then across the ferry to Brightlingsea. It seemed like a real adventure at the time!

Comments & Feedback

I visited Jaywick many times during the 40's and 50'S but always visited Brightlingsea by road to collect out winkes and used the boatman to cross to farthest beach. I didn't know that there was a ferry from point clear I would have much preferred this route. I wonder if it still operates?
