About Yorkshire

At first glance, the diversity of the beaches of the Yorkshire does not have a prominent distinctive feature. There is no clear predominance of mountain landscapes or crystal sea, on the contrary, everything seems balanced. Perhaps this is one of the reasons why the flow of tourists continues to grow from year to year.

Latest reviews on Yorkshire's beaches

Barmston Beach
10 Luna Marshmallow

This beach is absolutely fantastic and welcomes dogs throughout the year. It's not overly crowded, making it a perfect choice for dogs that may be anxious or easily agitated. I absolutely adore this beach.

Mappleton beach
10 Jurgis Kavaliauskas

This serene beach is ideal for those seeking a more secluded and tranquil spot away from the typical tourist crowds. It's a paradise for dog owners, picnic enthusiasts, and adventure seekers alike, with ample opportunities for sandcastle building and exploration. However, the car park can get quite crowded, so it's best to arrive early. A quaint café awaits at the top of the hill, and public restrooms are conveniently located in the car park.

Fraisthorpe beach
10 Evan Hawthorne

This beach is absolutely stunning and peaceful, although it can get crowded on Saturdays and Sundays during the day. However, the rest of the time, you can often enjoy the beach all to yourself, except for a few dog walkers. Personally, I love coming here for wild swimming. Don't forget to visit the calf shed uphill for some delicious snacks and hot beverages.

Bridlington beach
8 Mark Arden

This beach is absolutely delightful to visit. The weather was fantastic, making it the perfect spot to unwind and take a leisurely stroll along the coast. You can also visit the Quay or take a boat trip. Additionally, there's an exhibition of Puffins around the resort, which is definitely worth checking out.

Bridlington South beach
10 Rafael Alejandro Rodriguez Soto

This beach is undoubtedly among the finest ones out there. It's a perfect spot for dog owners as well as those who prefer leisurely strolls on the sand. The beach stretches on for miles, offering ample space for everyone to enjoy. It's a must-visit destination for beach enthusiasts.

Hornsea Beach
10 Lena Kovalenko

This beach is truly stunning, with immaculate cleanliness and an inviting atmosphere suitable for all. Parking is a breeze, and the beach's accessibility is top-notch. Additionally, convenient restroom facilities are located nearby for your comfort.

Finding hotels in relative proximity to the beaches is usually fine. Many beaches have enough nearby accommodation, which gives good opportunities to choose the right place to stay.

The hottest month of the region is August - air temperature during this time warms up to 18.4°C and water up to 15.9°C. The coldest month is January - air temperature drops to 7°C and water to 7.2°C.
