Burnham-on-Sea is a popular small seaside resort, with seven miles of sandy beach and a sweeping view of Bridgwater Bay. The church should be visited for its 14th century tower, 78 foot high and leaning some 3 foot out of the vertical. Most of the beach is sandy, but areas of mud are exposed in some places at low water, when swift currents make it unsafe to bath.  There are views across the mouth of the River Parrett to the Stert  Island bird sanctuary. As well as the usual sea side attractions, a regatta is held in  August and a carnival in November.  

 

Activities include water sking and sailing.
