Burnham -on-sea

[siclean]

hi anyone been there ? its just i carnt make my mind up to go either bur on see or torbay devon ... any suggestions ??

 

[Brian Fantana]

Yes. I lived in Burnham for 3 years as a kid. Nice enough place but in my opinion there is far more to do around the Torquay area, there are better places to stay and the region is prettier.

Burnham is a charming quaint traditional English seaside resort, doesn't compare to Lyme although very little does.

Went there on a day out about 20 years ago. Nice sandy beaches and a promenade. The train station is about 30 minutes walk away from the town. If you are going on a holiday I would pick Torbay.

Went there at Easter. Nice place, but depends what you want to do. As BF says, Torbay is prettier, and has more to do.

It's a bit quiet. Torquay is a lot livelier.

Went with a g/f to BoS years ago and stayed with some relatives of hers. She wouldn't get at it as she was worried about the noise...

Has a nice putting green on the front as I recall

the site in question is a haven site...you have to pay for passes for club and swimming etc, and clubhouse price of drinks etc are a rip off...

what, for 1 minute?? nice fishing lake there as well near the caravan site.

stayed in a B@B there just off the town centre , didn't stop the bedroom antics. the owners had there own annex!!!

seem to remember there was a thriving live band scene around the pubs in the area as well.

I stayed in the lighthouse there a couple of years ago. (The stone one, not the hut on the beach.)

Depends on your age I'd say. If you like walking on a sandy beach, fine. If you want nightlife, stay in Brighton!

 

[Lush]

I went here when I was a kid, has it changed at all?

Make sure you go to Kent's Cavern in Torquay - World Heritage site & really interesting.

Dartmouth is just up the road - very nice - and a bit further afield, there are beaches at Bigbury-on-Sea and Bantham that are lovely. If you don't mind the fine shingle, Blackpool Sands is also very nice and there is a lovely cafe on the beach.
