Burnham-on-Sea campsites

Although Burnham-On-Sea Pier is Britain's shortest pier, it retains its Edwardian features and elegance. The pavilion stands in the centre of the esplanade and is, quite rightly, very much the central feature of Burnham-On-Sea's pleasantly uncluttered seafront.

A few short steps from the pier you’ll find yourself on the award-winning Burnham beach, one of eight beaches in the area. This is a great swimming and paddling beach which also offers donkey rides.

Burnham South Beach offers sand near the jetty, with pebbles, mud and marshland further south near the River Parrett while Burnham North Beach has a mixture of sand and mud with a natural sea water boating pool that is great for children.

Beach Lighthouse Area is the start of a six-mile length of beach offering wide-open expanses of sand with dunes at the top of the beach. You must see the famous lighthouse on wooden stilts.

Other notable beaches include Berrow Beach, Breach Beach, Brean Down and the River Axe Estuary.
