Burnham-on-Crouch put-in (Maldon)

The River Crouch's tidal navigation runs 17.5 miles (15.21 nautical miles) between Battlesbridge and Holliwell Point at the river mouth. Burnham Yacht Harbour sits on the north bank in the lower reaches, with an unbroken line of yacht moorings and the frontages of the town's four sailing clubs visible from the water; the white, Grade II* listed clubhouse of the Royal Corinthian Yacht Club, designed by the modernist architect Joseph Emberton in 1931, stands out on the approach.

The Crouch and Roach estuary carries a Ramsar wetland designation, registered on 24 March 1995. Baltic Wharf on Wallasea Island, downstream on the south bank, is the estuary's only commercial port. An RNLI lifeboat has operated from Burnham since 1966, year-round since 1987, with two floating boathouses in the yacht harbour; walking east from the marina along the river leads to a small beach and Riverside Park.
