Burnham-on-Crouch South

Burnham-on-Crouch South ward encompasses the southern part of this riverside town, centred around the High Street and the waterfront along the River Crouch. The area is defined by its maritime character, with boatyards, sailing clubs, and moorings lining the riverbank. The historic High Street contains a mix of shops and services, leading down to the quay which functions as a focal point for both daily life and seasonal visitor activity.

The tidal river shapes the local environment and economy, with the famous Burnham Week sailing regatta being a key annual event. Residential streets extend southwards from the core, featuring housing that ranges from older cottages to more modern developments. The area includes the town's railway station, providing a direct link to the wider region, while open spaces like the riverside promenade offer views across the water to the Dengie peninsula.
