The Beach
Burnham has a small sandy beach on the River Crouch at the Riverside
Park.
Although Burnham historically has a beach area this beach is man
made to provide facilities for adults and children alike.
Although it is possible to swim in the River the strong currents in
this area make this unadvisable so the beach is best used for
sunbathing, paddling or play.
To get to the beach by car turn into
Riverside Park from Station Road (Next to Burnham Library) continue
for about 400 yards, through the park, until you reach a car park.
Park there and follow a footpath up an incline to the plateau past
the picnic area to the Riverside where you will see the beach.
Access to the beach is via some steps.
Dogs are not allowed onto the beach.
There are other small areas of sandy and shell beaches on the banks
of the River Crouch, towards the estuary, and on the sea coast.
These are accessed on foot or by private farm tracks. None of these
are accessible by public roads.
