Description
The parking area is quite hidden on a sweeping bend (look for P sign), about a 1/4 mile west of the village of Anthony, there is a small free car park at the Quay that overlooks this small offshoot, it is possible to gain a wider view of the main estuary by walking North East along a beach or footpath that is often muddy and slippery, a telescope is advised but the good news is the sun is behind you.
