Overview of the approach to Tollesbury

As a guide

From the Nass Beacon, follow the red and green cans westwards towards Tollesbury Leavings, where yacht moorings mark the centre of the channel. Follow the channel until you see further red and green cans to port, marking the entrance to Woodrolfe Creek. A tide gauge at the creek entrance shows the height of tide over the marina sill — do not enter unless you have enough water to clear it.

On average a boat with a draft of 3ft can enter just under 2 hours before HW and 1 hour after HW.
