Road access by the rom London is by the A127 trunk roads far as Wickford and thence by the B1012 through Latchingdon Mayland and Steeple. The yacht basin itself is admirably sheltered, as it was excavated behind the sea wall and is therefore completely enclosed . The only exception is the entrance channel which was cut through the sea wall. There is no lock and the Marina is accessible at all states of the tide for shallow draft craft.
