A beautiful sandy beach nestled between extraordinary sheltering chalk cliffs. When the tide is out the cliffs reveal hidden sea caves hosting rock pools full of fish and other sea creatures.
Recommend June July time for those who would like to see puffins which occasionally nest between the joints in the cliffs.
Ideal location for geographers and those with a keen interest for geology. GCSE / A level / Degree students must visit here to see environmental and geographical processes in real time. A wide range of erosional features are in a small area including wave cut platforms, arches, stacks and marine erosion of cliffs.
For those interested in swimming; high tide offers a great platform for splashing around / snorkelling etc.
Regular boat tours offer great views of sea caves and context of the area in the past/ present.
Great facilities at the top of the hill for those who want a quick bite to eat or a filling meal. A range of traditional food including chips, ice cream, burgers etc. with indoor and outdoor seating.
The hill down to the beach is somewhat steep meaning those with walking impairments or disabilities may find it difficult to get on the beach due to this fact however there are more accessible beaches near by in Bridlington or further down the Holderness coastline near Hornsea.
Parking at the time of this review is £1.80 all day so is really good value.
Overall a really good place to bring a family to enjoy a fun...
Read moreFirstly, from the car park and cafe at the top, there is a steep walk down to the stunning beach, which means there’s a steep walk back up. It’s do-able for most people but just be prepared. As I say there’s a cafe at the top next to the carpark, but there is also a burger bar and cafe nearer the bottom at beach level. We didn’t try either though on our visit as they we both closed. The beach itself is really nice and peaceful, the sand is nice as it doesn’t get everywhere and is easier to brush off and wipe down. The sand is quite rocky though and once over the sand the the whole bay is rocks and caution is needed as, understandably, they are slippery. The very best part of this beach is the caves! My children and I spent several hours exploring them, passingly through them and even climbing into some of them. We had such a good time and only went back in as we were worried about the incoming tide! We had some lovely views and and the sound of the waves and the water in the caves was really relaxing and natural. We’ll definitely visit here again when we're next...
Read moreVisited on a chilly but clear October day. It was lovely and quiet. Pay by card only carpark with plenty of parking. Cafe and toilets at carpark which we didn't use so cannot comment. Epic views and walks around cliff tops. We walked down to the beach - a fairly steep incline that anyone with mobility issues would struggle with. Lovely little cove with amazing rock formations/cliffs and beautiful white pebbles on beach. Real little gem of a place. We bought a couple of hot drinks from the burger/seafood shack at the top of the lifeboat ramp. There was a great choice of seafood on offer at reasonable prices, but the two ladies serving with 'meh' customer service, couldn't have cared less if patronaged their business. No niceties or chat at all. However, their dog was so friendly, that made up for it. I'd imagine in summer this cove would be very busy, but was great for us as there were only a handful of visitors today. Well...
