I have had a reply from a chap at the Crown Estates to my FOI request about coastal boundaries. He confirms that coastal council boundaries are at the mean low water mark. Some councils lease some of the foreshore from Crown Estates, some from other landlords and some councils own the land outright, but all administer the land to the low water mark.
He offers that someone can visit their London office to view their GIS system to see what land they own and where it is leased to councils. I'm not sure quite what we might get out of this, but it would probably be interesting, so if anyone is interested let me know.
