Welcome to the website of the Rotary Club of Burnham-on-Sea



The Lower Lighthouse, Burnham-on-Sea


Situated about 1.5 miles from Junction 22 of the M5, Burnham-on-Sea has all the charm of a traditional seaside resort with its own distinct character. It is famous for its unique nine-legged wooden lighthouse and also boasts one of the shortest piers in the country.

Plenty of fun can be had on the miles of sandy beaches, donkey rides for the youngsters, sandcastle building, or just unwinding with an ice cream and the views of Bridgwater Bay and the Welsh coast in front of you.

There is a busy town centre with a mix of high street shops and a range of more traditional outlets. To the south of Burnham lies Apex Park, which offers visitors a chance to stroll around the lakes, enjoy the wildlife or something more active. The park offers fishing, BMX biking areas, a skate park, a trim trail and a children's play area. As well as guesthouses and self-catering cottages in and around the town, the area has a variety of campsites and holiday parks.

The Rotary Club of Burnham-on-Sea was Chartered in July 1945 and currently has 36 members. The Club is very active supporting local good causes, and each year raises thousands of pounds to do this for the benefit of many projects, both large and small.
