Yes. 500 or more of the walks within 5 km of the middle of Canvey Island are walks beside water, 46% of the 1,090 or more we measured there. The app shows them by name once you have an account, checked against what your dog finds hard.
What counts as a walk with water?
One with water the map draws, such as a river, lake or canal, beside it for at least a tenth of its length. A walk that only crosses a bridge does not count.
