For the serious SW-phile, better than the Ordnance Survey, there is an Admiralty Chart of the place, on the very large scale of 1:12,500 (I have no idea why, except that between Bramble and Pewit is a creek which leads to an explosives factory, sometimes used by coasters.)
This gives far more information than the Ordnance Survey does - as one might expect, the Army get a bit vague about saltings, salt marsh, mud covered at various states of the tide and navigable channels, but the Navy take it all very seriously!
My copy is on board our boat, as we go there quite often, and unfortunately I cannot be certain of the chart number, but the name is "Plans on the East Coast of England" and I fancy the number is "Chart no. 2695". It is quite expensive, as all BA charts are - don't expect much change from sixteen pounds, but it is beautifully printed, on very high quality paper!
