Sedgemoor District Council has served notice on a group of Travellers who pitched up on Burnham's seafront lawns.
The council has taken action after concern from local residents about the three caravans located on the South Esplanade lawns near the town's Yacht Club, pictured here.
They arrived on Saturday afternoon and were still in place on Monday, although one of the vans moved to an area of grass nearby.
Sedgemoor District Council spokeswoman Sam Taylor told Burnham-On-Sea.com: "We have served notice on two of the three Traveller caravans."
"One is not on our property, so we can't take action against all three, but they have been given until Tuesday morning to leave or legal action will be started."
Several residents had contacted the council to seek their removal.
One resident, Paul Hambleton, told Burnham-On-Sea.com: "We are concerned by the arrival of the caravans. It's not good for tourism when visitors and walkers see them parked up along our seafront like this."
