If you want to get away from it all but don’t like travelling too far, Steeple Bay is the perfect destination for you.

What We Say...

Situated near Southminster, Essex with boat access to Mayland Creek via our own slipway Steeple Bay holiday Park is the perfect water-lovers paradise. Enjoys the view across the water to Osea Island where celebrities and millionaires fly in by helicopter to ‘de-stress’!! You don’t have to be an active boatman to enjoy Steeple Bay, just watching the boats and yachts go by is the perfect therapy for today’s stressful lifestyle. Our heated leisure pool is perfect for children and grown ups alike with a paddling pool for our youngest guests. Our entertainment venue will round off a perfect day with live music and shows during busier periods. The medieval town of Maldon is nearby and with lots of shops and restaurants to discover – Thursdays and Saturdays are best as they are market days!
