Essex lies on the east coast of Britain, to the north and east of London. It
has a fairly long coastline with some major river estuaries along it - notably
the River Crouch, River Blackwater and the River Stour. Much of the coastal area
is low lying with extensive mud banks and wetland areas. The main seaside
resorts in the county are Southend, Burnham and Clacton, the port of Harwich is
also a resort in part. Due to its location near London, the Essex coast is
poplar with citizens from the capital who flock to the beaches and attractions
of Southend and Clacton.
