Your guide to Burnham-on-Sea
All About Burnham-on-Sea
Just 45 minutes from Bristol, Burnham-on-Sea is a lovely seaside town on the Somerset coast that boasts seven miles of sandy beaches, an old-fashioned pier, and several memorable coastal walks. Surrounded by rolling dunes, the town’s beaches are patrolled by lifeguards in summer, and are a popular spot for a range of water sports. You’ll also find beach-themed shops to buy gifts and souvenirs, restaurants and pubs where you can enjoy the seafood catch of the day, and amusement arcades on the pier for kids of all ages.
Walking is a favourite pastime in Burnham-on-Sea, with several easily accessible paths along the coast and through the countryside. The climb up to Brean Down headland offers panoramic views of the town and its surroundings. You can visit the iconic still-active Low Lighthouse or take a stroll along the town’s mile-long esplanade, which offers gorgeous views of the sea.
The best time to stay in a holiday rental in Burnham-on-Sea
Summer is a great time to stay in a holiday cottage in Burnham-on-Sea, when you can expect warm sunny days for enjoying the beach. Like most of the United Kingdom, though, the weather can be changeable, so it’s a good idea to pack a jumper along with your sunscreen. Between May and July, bring a blanket and picnic to Manor Gardens in the centre of town for free afternoon concerts showcasing local musicians. In spring and autumn, you can expect a mix of mild days and colder rainy ones. In November, the Burnham-on-Sea Carnival sees dozens of giant illuminated carnival floats parading through the streets, delivering a musical and light-filled extravaganza. If you visit Somerset in the winter, you’ll be greeted by chilly conditions and the likelihood of rain, so make sure to pack layers.
Top things to do in Burnham-on-Sea
Brean Down
A 30-minute drive from Burnham is Brean Down, a natural promontory that stretches into the Bristol Channel. You can explore part of a Victorian fort as well as the ruins of a Roman temple. Brean Down’s dramatic location provides breathtaking views of Brean Beach and the nearby town of Weston-Super-Mare, with views across the channel to the Welsh coastline.
Burnham-on-Sea Pier
The historic Burnham-on-Sea Pier, completed in 1914, is famous as the shortest pier in the United Kingdom. What it lacks in size, it makes up for in charm, with its traditional timber look and amusement arcade. Grab some fish and chips and enjoy them on the beach just by the pier, or treat yourself to an ice cream and stroll along the esplanade as you enjoy the views.
Apex Leisure and Wildlife Park
A short walk south along the seafront esplanade brings you to the Apex Leisure and Wildlife Park, boasting 42 acres of open space, with an easy lakeside trail offering scenic views. Along the way, keep an eye out for the resident wildlife, including ducks, herons, swans, and moorhens. There’s a fun children’s play area, an outdoor gym, and a skate park, as well as many spots to enjoy a relaxing picnic.
