Burnham-On-Sea outdoor activities and sports

Enjoy the great outdoors in Burnham-On-Sea

Burnham-On-Sea offers miles of super sandy beaches for amazing walks at any time of the year.

Enjoy our famous sunsets, visit our famous beach lighthouse, or just take a stroll along the sands while breathing fresh sea air!

Burnham’s Esplanade and the River Brue footpath are superb for great flat-level walks, morning saunters and family wanders. Wide pavements are friendly for disabled users, as well as joggers and strollers. Why not pop into one of Burnham’s seafront cafes for a bite to eat during your stay? For the more adventurous, why not enjoy windsurfing in the bay?

Burnham’s well known for its strong on-shore winds blowing in from the Bristol Channel, so it provides ideal conditions for wind-related sea sports such as kite surfing and windsurfing. Always check the Burnham-On-Sea tide times first!
