Not the most adrenaline provider but a lovely location, paddle around the Spouthend Pier and around Old Leigh. Has the benefit of easy launch and no real dangers.
Facilities:
The seafront is packed with cafes and kiosks and more pubs than you can shake a paddle at!
Hazards:
Tides can be quite hazardous, however if you keep an eye on the tide you will be safe. If the tide does leave you out there, then you get a muddy walk back.
Overview:
Tidal estuary with sandy beaches, generally calm water except for tidal currents.
