Braunton East sits on the eastern side of the large village of Braunton in North Devon, Devon, England. The ward lies close to the extensive dune system of Braunton Burrows and the wide beach at Saunton Sands, so its landscape is shaped by moor, sand and farmland with easy access to coastal walking and watersports.
Locally the economy mixes agriculture and tourism with many residents commuting into Barnstaple; village life centres on shops, pubs, sports clubs and volunteer groups. There is a visible historic character in older buildings and a strong conservation interest because of the nearby biosphere reserve, while the community balances long‑standing families with newer inhabitants and holiday-home influences.
