Creeksea is a small riverside hamlet in the district of Rochford, in Essex, England, sitting on the north bank of the River Crouch opposite Burnham-on-Crouch. Its setting on the Dengie salt marshes and estuary mudflats gives it a strong maritime character: sailing, birdwatching and seasonal visitors are all part of the local scene, while surrounding farmland and quiet lanes underline its rural feel.
Historically the hamlet is best known for Creeksea Place, a distinctive red-brick manor with 16th‑ and later‑century fabric that anchors local history and occasional cultural events. The economy is largely agricultural and estuary‑linked leisure and tourism, and socially it remains a small, close‑knit community within the broader landscape of the Dengie Peninsula.
