Bridgwater Bay

Bridgwater Bay is a large, sheltered estuary on the southwest coast of England, where the River Parrett flows into the Bristol Channel. It features extensive mudflats, salt marshes, and sandy beaches, providing important habitat for wildlife, especially birds. The bay is part of the Somerset Levels and is protected for its natural beauty and ecological significance. Its shallow waters make it ideal for birdwatching and support diverse plant and animal communities. Bridgwater Bay also offers opportunities for recreation, such as walking, sailing, and fishing, while playing a key role in local environmental conservation efforts.
