How to Find Burton Bradstock
Grid Reference

Degrees

 Burton Bradstock is accessible three ways, first by walking from West Bay or by Parking in the Caravan site heading towards the main Burton Bradstock Road. The most common and ideal access is on the way towards Burton Bradstock. This is not easily marked, but you should PASS a sign pointing to the beach in Burton Bradstock, just near a petrol station. There is a cutting with the Bridport Sands formation visible near this road. Instead, follow the road round and you will find a road leading down onto the beach where there is a car park, cafe and toilets.
