Burnham-on-Sea Beach (Somerset)

The award-winning Burnham-on-Sea is one of Somerset’s classic seaside resorts due to the exceptional stretch of beach – one of the longest in Europe.

By contrast, it is also home to Britain’s shortest pier. Built in 1911 and measures just over 100ft! There are various shops and cafes close by, and with landmarks steeped in history and a rich tapestry of family activities, Burnham-on-Sea offers something for everyone.

Blossoming during the Victorian era, Burnham provides timeless seaside pleasures and retains much of its traditional charm – right down to donkey rides on the beach.
