For wild marsh, acres of sand, a very close shingle spit, High Sand Creek campsite at Stiffkey, Norfolk, is right on the edge of the marsh with direct access. An excellent example of a spit at Blakeney Point (with boat trip to see the seals), and within a short drive, coastal erosion at Weybourne - see where the houses are almost falling off the edge of the cliff, ice age fossils at Runton (see the skeleton of a hairy mammoth found there in Cromer Museum), sandstone cliffs from Weybourne to Cromer and beyond (Runton is a good place to view them, along with coastal defence systems, groynes etc.)
Dune and dune systems at Wells and Holkham (magnificent beaches).
Fishing quay at Wells, crab fishing boats from beach at Cley (summer).
Also slightly inland features of the ice age which is responsible for Norfolk's coastline at Blakeney - the Blakeney Esker, and knowledgable explanations at the Cromer museum.
Totally different coastline from the chalky cliffs of the South Downs / Beachy Head / Birling Gap (Norman's Bay CC campsite right on the beach is a good location, but not a very 'wild' site).
Or what about the 'Jurassic coast' - Chesil beach, a spit, Lulworth Cove and Durdle Dor (classic Geography features), fossil hunting at Charmouth, Lyme Regis and Kimmergidge. People rave about Eweleaze Farm campsite in Dorset, but I haven't been.
