Nice beach though
We have just spent a couple of nights there, I think it's great, apart from the noisy boat telly, oh no this sounds like a previous halyard thread tee hee, it's great with the kids, walk them to walton then Frinton along the beach, spent the day on the beach on Sunday, was a glorious day, wished I was sailing down the coast as was supposed to but was outvoted. We scraped in over stone point at low water plus 1, at least it felt like we scraped by, local boat who draws 1.9 went in before us and no problems, maybe our depth gauge needs some calibration but we definitely saw 1.4 and we felt like we were going through the soft stuff, it was very flat water though. Lovely sail there and back to our.

We like Titchmarsh, the staff are great.
We spent a wonderful sunny afternoon just walking round the bund and lazing about in the long grass with the kids a few years back, it was magic.
Found an excellent chinese restaurant in Walton and there is a particular home-made chocolate shop in Frinton that is worth any amount of sailing to get to, one of the best we've found anywhere. No idea if either of these fine establishments are still going, must get up there again and find out.
Nice along the beach and seafront too, we were pleasantly surprised.

It's probably the cheapest marina on the East Coast and the restaurant serves up a decent meal, though it's a long walk to the best eatery in town. Whites pie and mash shop.

Beware, the outside gauge outside shows the depth on the row of pontoons it's attached to, not the cill. There is a metre less water over the cill. When we first ploughed the cill there was 2.4 on the gauge and we need 1.5.
Simply put deduct one metre from the outside gauge and you have the cill depth. (In fact the twizzle is all about the same as the cill so it's not a designed cill like tollesbury, just where they stopped dredging the marina).
