There are two public houses: the Horny Toad, which is situated by the boat yard and marina, and Hardy's (recently refurbished and previously known as The General Lee until July 2010). Maylandsea Bay Sailing Club and Harlow (Blackwater) Sailing Club are based in the village. The local school is Maylandsea County Primary School, in Katonia Avenue.

Parish Council
Mayland Parish Council meets monthly at the Henry Samuel Hall. The villages of Mayland and Maylandsea are in an area considered to be at risk from flooding, and the Parish Council, working with Maldon District Council, is developing a localised emergency plan to link into the wider emergency strategy covering the whole district.[2]
Maylands Mayl
The village has its own newsletter "The Maylands Mayl" which is published monthly and distributed to almost every household in the community.
Local interest
There are always fossils to be found in Maylandsea, the most common being lobster fragments.[5]. There is a crashed P51B Mustang from World War II crashed near Lawling Creek.[citation needed]
