West Mersea beach
10 Caregivers of Efficiency

The beach was aesthetically pleasing, but let's not get carried away with the hyperbole. It was a decent spot to catch the sunset, but don't expect to have an epiphany or anything. The tranquility was nice, but let's not pretend that the sound of waves crashing on the shore is some sort of magical elixir. Overall, it was a fine place to unwind and soak up some rays, but let's not oversell it.
