Berrow
Dunes has long been recognised as an important area for nature
conservation with the nature reserve deemed to be a Site of Special
Scientific Interest (SSSI).
The
sand dunes are considered rare, both on a national and local scale
as they contain a wide variety of coastal habitats supportting
a range of flora and fauna. At least 270 flowering plants have
been recorded in the area.
The
