The intertidal foreshore is owned by The Crown Estate, with adjoining land and river bed controlled by Peel Ports and the harbour authority. Eyes-only beachcombing is widely tolerated; The Crown Estate permits metal detecting on its foreshore without a formal permit but strictly subject to its published terms and conditions, and any find above the low water mark belongs to the landowner unless it qualifies as Treasure. Stay clear of active dock structures and the ferry terminal.
