Burnham-on-Sea

Burnham-on-Sea has all the charm of a traditional seaside resort with its own distinct character.  It is famous for its unique nine-legged wooden lighthouse and also boasts one of the shortest piers in the country.

Plenty of fun can be had on the miles of sandy beaches, donkey rides for the youngsters, sandcastle building, or just unwinding with an ice cream and the views of Bridgwater Bay and the Welsh coast in front of you.

There is a busy town centre with a mix of high street shops and a range of more traditional outlets. To the south of Burnham lies Apex Park, which offers visitors a chance to stroll around the lakes, enjoy the wildlife or something more active. The park offers fishing, BMX biking areas, a skate park, a trim trail and a childrens play area. As well as guesthouses and self-catering cottages in and around the town, the area has a variety of campsites and holiday parks.
