Burnham-on-Sea, mejores playas

This is the best beach I've been to for finding fossils! The views are amazing and there are plenty of fossils to discover. However, collecting them is not allowed and I wouldn't suggest swimming or paddling here because of the strong current.

This spot is incredibly peaceful with stunning views and an abundance of small fossils. I visited with two 11-year-olds, an 8-year-old, and a 6-year-old, and they all had a blast exploring freely. We dipped our toes in the sea, enjoyed a picnic, and discovered fossils, a dead thornray skeleton, and plenty of beautiful driftwood. It's an ideal destination for nature and outdoor enthusiasts. The beach is challenging to walk on due to the large stones, so I recommend wearing old trainers, walking boots, wellies, or walking sandals. It's not suitable for those with mobility issues, very young children, or babies. There's a flat, stony, grassy path that runs along the top of the beach, leading all the way to Kilve, about 2 miles away. A small, free parking area is accessible via a rough track, followed by a short walk to the beach or coast path. From here, you can see the imposing Hinkley building work to your right and, on a clear day, Burnham On Sea, Brean Down, Steepholm, Flatholm, and even Wales in the distance. There are no facilities here, which adds to its charm. This place may not appeal to everyone, but if you enjoy scrambling over rocks, searching for pebbles and fossils, and spending time outdoors, it's definitely worth a visit.

The walk from the car park is disappointing, as people have allowed their dogs to do their business and left it across the path, which needs cleaning up. As for the beach, it was lovely and peaceful. The kids loved having the open space to play. While it's not a typical swimming beach, it's perfect for dogs. Just be cautious when the tide is out, as it leaves small pools of water but also has sinking mud. Be careful when bringing dogs and even children.

Esta impresionante playa presume de una encantadora mezcla de arquitectura antigua de piedra y diseño moderno. El estacionamiento está convenientemente disponible en la orilla arenosa y los visitantes pueden esperar experimentar una de las mayores amplitudes de mareas en el sur de Inglaterra. Situada cerca de la M5, esta playa es fácilmente accesible y perfecta para una excursión de un día o una escapada de fin de semana.

La marea fuerte está arruinando nuestro disfrute. Habíamos planeado quedarnos, pero como no hay agua cerca, hemos decidido ir al lago. No pudimos encontrar ningún estacionamiento cerca.
