St. Lawrence Bay is a village in Essex, UK. It is in an area known as the Dengie Hundred, next to the River Blackwater.
The village is famous for sailing and watersports, which bring in many tourists during the summer. However, one of the two caravan parks has been almost completely replaced by housing. This has severely decreased the number of holidaymakers, but has increased the permanent village population. This new housing has been a major issue with a large number of residents, with the strain on local resources (schools etc) being a worry.
There are two pubs: The St. Lawrence Inn and The Stone. The Inn also houses an Indian restaurant.
St Lawrence Bay is home to Stone Sailing Club and to a watersports club.
