Visit Burnham-on-Crouch

Called often the Cowes of the East Burnham-on-Crouch has a distinctly nautical atmosphere. Historically it has benefitted from its location on the coast, first as a ferry port, later as a fishing port known for its oyster beds, and most recently as a centre for yachting and arts. The town retains an air of friendly, laid-back relaxation, seemingly unscarred by the frenetic way of todays' life. Burnham is a favourite haunt for day-trippers and although many people visit the town because of the quaint streets and historic buildings, its museum, excellent riverside and parkland walks and the wide choice of eating places and pubs, undoubtedly the majority visit because of the sailing.
