In the late 1880s a local businessman, Richard Roberts, built up a worldwide Trade in flax and hemp-based products, a leaflet entitled The Roberts Trail is available from the village Post Office and shows sites of interest around the village. Burton Bradstock beach is a shelving shingle beach close to the village. On a clear day it offers stunning views to Portland and round to the East Devon coast. Bathers need to excersise caution as the beach shelves steeply and there is a strong undertow.
