The town of Burnham on Sea is best known for its mudflats and beaches and the dangers that these pose to shipping and individuals.

The waves of the Bristol Channel can reach up to fifteen metres. There have been a number of people killed over the years and these have been people that have became trapped in the mudflats and then been overcome by the rising water, as it tends to rise very quickly.
