Coastal moorings with walk-ashore berths in the East of England

Salt water: open-coast marinas and harbours, and the estuaries and tidal rivers behind them. Berths you step off onto a pontoon, quay or bank: no tender, no rowing out to a buoy. Easier for loading, for a dog, and for getting aboard after dark.
