Apex Park to Burnham Beach

Apex Leisure and Wildlife Park, located in Highbridge near Burnham-on-Sea, is a 42-acre park offering a variety of activities, including a large children’s play area, a few lakes including two you can fish in, a skate park, an outdoor gym and a small dog agility park. There is also a public toilet and water fill station near the entrance of the car park… even a bird feed dispensing machine!

The park itself can be enough to walk round on its own if you want to keep it short, approx 20-30 mins to do the circuit. However, if you keep right once you walk past the dog agility park, there is a path which links to the Brue Estuary river walk. Follow the path towards the sea, and within 10 minutes you’ll be joining the south end of the Burnham’s Beach. Note, dogs are banned from the beach 1st May – 30th September.

If your feeling like you want a longer walk, it’ll take you around an hour to get to the Low Lighthouse. If you do want to take this near 3 mile stretch, please note you’ll need to come off the beach for a small part of the walk. The “Burnham Main Beach”, which is between the jetty and the pier does not allow dogs throughout the entire year. Signage is pretty obvious to help you keep to the rules. See BARB Beach Guide for full details.

Thanks to Nathan and Hannah for this walk recommendation!
