The Crouch is the home of yacht racing on the East Coast. It boasts no less than two 'Royal' yacht clubs and is also home to two reknowned wooden yacht builders R J Prior and Wm King and Sons.
The entrance is not so promising. It flows between two large expanses of drying mud and sand, Buxey and Foulness which create fascinating effects as they flood. They also provide ideal habitat for seals which can be seen basking on the mud flats as you sail by.
The rather desolate, flat banks of the lower reaches begin to soften as you near Burnham on Crouch. Higher up they turn into
soft rolling farmland and wildlife-rich marshland and saltings .
