Stone Marsh

Stone Marsh is a wild, remote anchorage tucked behind the Naze peninsula, where you drop the hook and take in the sweeping tidal flats and birdlife that make this stretch of Essex coast genuinely special. It's the kind of place that feels like you've slipped off the map — from here you can dinghy ashore and pick up the cliff-top path to explore Stone Point spit, though watch the tides carefully as the route out can get cut off.
