Tone Posted July 13, 2004 Report Posted July 13, 2004 anyone been here? A mate and i are heading down there tomorrow... i hear it is a little bit of a long walk to get to the sea/river?!?!? what is the sea/river bed like? stone?sand?mud? Thanks Tony Quote
john malone Posted July 13, 2004 Report Posted July 13, 2004 this is only good at low tide due to no place to launch as the beach is small . the place is called The Ray. 2 hours either side of low water is fine . Keep an eye on the tide coming in as it comes in quick and you will be out of your depth if not got an eye on it you will see a couple of big fishing boats moored up from the beach 1/4 mile away - this is the ray walk out via a stone path to your left as you look out to sea from the beach , think it starts next to a teahut/shop on your left - out on the ray sandbar , its nice wettish sand so good to your gear - before that its kite killing mussell beds !!!! also home to the southend seals , one may pop up and say hi Quote
justin1599968620 Posted July 13, 2004 Report Posted July 13, 2004 up above says it all, alternatively you have "the lagoon" out about a mile into the estuary from uncle tom's cafe in shoeburyness/thorpe bay. How to find--just keep driving from Chalkwell along the seafront to the Shorehouse pub and make a sharp right, about 3 miles. Quote
