Burnham-on-Crouch South sits in the southern part of the riverside town within Maldon district in Essex, England, hugging the north bank of the River Crouch and overlooking salt marshes and mudflats that attract wading birds and give the area a strong estuarine character.
The ward has a distinctly maritime feel - a marina, yacht clubs and a long sailing tradition that culminates in the annual Burnham Week regatta - and its local economy leans on boating, tourism and small shops; historically it grew from fishing and oyster-landing activity, and today combines a lively seasonal buzz with a quieter, largely residential community.
