Latest reviews on Howden'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.

Filey beach
10 Kird D.

This charming town boasts an abundance of shops, bars, and restaurants that cater to all tastes. However, the real highlight is the breathtaking beach, which is both pristine and spacious. It's a dog-friendly haven for most of the year, with certain restrictions during the peak season of May to September. Overall, the beach is a must-visit destination for anyone seeking a serene and enjoyable experience.

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.

Cleethorpes Beach
8 Alexander Brooks

This beach is fantastic when the tide is in, but when it recedes (and I mean recedes!!!) there are superior beaches out there. The sand on the upper part is incredibly soft and pristine. However, below the high tide mark, the sand becomes muddy, smelly in certain areas, and stretches on for miles. I estimate that the low water point is approximately 1½ miles away. The amusements and shops located above the beach are excellent and provide everything that anyone could need. There is parking available right on the road (arrive early) as well as near the train station. Restrooms are conveniently located near the promenade and train station. Overall, this is a wonderful beach that offers everything necessary for a great day out. It would have received a 5-star rating if it weren't for the presence of mud. I'm not being overly critical, just mentioning that if you were to visit and experience it firsthand, the mud might spoil your day if no one had warned you about it.

The warmest month during the year in this area is August, with the air temperature rising up to 18.4°C and the water temperature up to 15.9°C. The coldest month is January, with the air temperature dropping down to 7°C and the water temperature down to 7.2°C.
