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.
BRADWELL s a quiet village, and has been a special place from Roman times to today.
With peaceful walks and a smugglers' pub just minutes away, you could not ask for a more relaxing spot. Nearby St. Peters Chapel is said to be the oldest church in Essex.
Craft approaching the seaward should leave the remains of the ‘Baffles’ off Bradwell Nuclear Power Station to Port, and the North Cardinal marking the spit at the northern end of ‘Pewitt Island’ which shows a quick flashing white light, and the ‘Tide Guage’ to starboard. The Tide Guage shows the maximum depth in Bradwell Creek in feet. There is no bar, the Creek being roughly level from the Beacon to the Marina entrance. The Creek is marked with red can to port and withies to starboard. The deeper water is found centrally between the cans and withies. Triangular topped leading marks are in place on shore and a green conical bouy. The deeper water after rounding this is to the shore side of most boats, other than the small sailing dinghies belonging to Bradwell Sailing Centre. A listening watch is kept on VHF channel 80 08:30 - 17:00 every day. If you plan to visit us please call before 17:00 the day you plan to arrive.
