点评:We were really disappointed with Brightlingsea.
We hired a beach hut for the day and had expectations of the kids playing on the beach making sandcastles whilst the oldies popped back for a cup of tea and we’d all have a nice dip in the sea. However the beach absolutely does not allow for this. There’s only a tiny bit of sand at the top of the beach, followed by large area of squelchy mud, leading to the sea which goes too far out to be able to reach to swim in. I swim outdoors year round at various locations in the Uk and there was no way I was going to be able to swim here except at absolute high tide.
There was a kids sand play area adjacent to the beach at the other end of the esplanade but it was very busy as it really is the only place you can get on to the beach. There’s also a tidal pool here but also very busy and more of a splash area for children, if not being deep enough to play in.
The park is also in this area and was nice and my kids enjoyed playing there for a bit.
The public toilets next to the play area were wet and smelly and we struggled to get enough water from the taps to wash our hands. There were some others in the town that were much much cleaner.
The lido looked nice but was fully booked so we didn’t get to try it.
Car parking was easy to find and reasonably priced. Free parking for three hours if you have a blue badge. Also free parking on the road adjacent to the car park. We managed to get a space despite it being nice weather and the school holidays.
There’s a large grassy area adjacent to the car park that would be good for picnics and ball games.
Overall we were disappointed with our day trip but would be okay for a couple of hours with Beth small children.

我们租了一间海滩小屋住了一天,原本以为孩子们会在海滩上玩沙堡,而老人则会回来喝杯茶,然后我们都会在海里畅游一番。然而,海滩绝对不允许我们这样做。海滩顶部只有一小块沙子,后面是一大片泥泞的泥浆,一直延伸到海里,太远了,无法到达那里游泳。我全年都在英国的不同地方进行户外游泳,除非在绝对涨潮的时候,否则我不可能在这里游泳。
在滨海大道的另一端,海滩旁边有一个儿童沙滩游乐区,但那里非常繁忙,因为这真的是你唯一可以去海滩的地方。这里还有一个潮汐池,但也很热闹,更像是儿童戏水区,只是水不够深,无法玩耍。
公园也在这个区域,很不错,我的孩子们很喜欢在那里玩一会儿。
游乐区旁边的公共卫生间又湿又臭,我们费了好大劲才从水龙头里接出足够的水来洗手。镇上还有一些其他地方要干净得多。
露天游泳池看起来不错,但已经订满了,所以我们没去尝试。
停车场很容易找到,价格也合理。如果你有蓝色徽章,可以免费停车三个小时。停车场旁边的路上也有免费停车位。尽管天气很好,而且是学校假期,我们还是设法找到了一个车位。
停车场旁边有一大片草地,很适合野餐和打球。
总的来说,我们对这次一日游感到失望,但和 Beth 的小孩一起待上几个小时还是可以的。
