Why Mersea Beach Huts are a Instagrammers Dream

“Are we at the beach or in a fairy tale?” proclaimed Matalan in its recent survey of the most instagrammable beach huts in the UK, where Mersea came in the Top 5. And when you see the below collection of stunning instagram photos ‑ you can understand why.

With such an abundance of colourful huts at your disposal ‑ a perfect picture is easy to replicate on your visit to Mersea this summer.

We’ve picked our favourite Mersea Island pastel hut instagram shots for you to recreate.


@madamelena_

The sheer beauty of Lena’s cleverly colour curated instagram feed is a feast for the eyes. Each photograph is carefully chosen to produce a seamless segue between winter, spring, summer and autumn. With her unique use of colour, it’s hardly a surprise she chose Mersea island for a photoshoot. The pastel hues sit beautifully on her profile and the set up’s are truly stunning.


@welcometolennysworld

Following Lenny’s instagram profile is like waking up in a fairytale. Half magical, half mad, it’s an endless catwalk of floaty dresses, luxury locations and fanciful role play. You can’t fault the time & effort that must be required to produce these inspired photoshoots and Lenny absolutely nails the obligatory instagrammers pastel beach hut shot (look at how amazing that outfit/hut colour match is!). This blog will inspire you to grab your @selkie dress and head across the strood!


@galinathomas

This is one of the best examples we’ve seen of a family photo shoot at the beach huts. We love the colour co‑ordinated outfits and the contrast of such a striking blue is perfectly matched with this beautiful pink pastel hut. This photo is just pure joy.


@elari_events

Aleks and Sahar from Elari Events ‑ a luxury party styling business decorated 10 pastel huts with perfectly panetoned matched balloons to celebrate reaching 100k instagram followers. The results are simply epic.


@the_curious_blonde

Proving the back of the huts are just as beautiful as the front ‑ this shot from primary teacher come travel instagrammer ‑ @the_curious_blonde is understated perfection.


@millymollymae

This cali style sunset drenched instagram account is the work of Milly and her boyfriend Mickey, as they travel seemingly from one dreamy beach to the next. A sustainable and vegan campaigner, her profile showcases eco tips and environmentally friendly beauty products as well as an impressive collection of hats (as seen in her recent Mersea Island beach hut shoot). And it’s not always about colour, as this shot demonstrates ‑ sometimes West Mersea is the backdrop for muted, boho elegance too.


@ticija

And finally ‑ how glorious is this shot from London instagrammer Ticija? We love the sun goddess vibes oozing from this amazing picture.
