Easington Beach
East Yorkshire
Easington Beach is a quiet, wild stretch of the Holderness coast near the small village of Easington, just north of Spurn Point. The Holderness coast is one of the fastest-eroding coastlines in Europe, and Easington is a clear example: the cliffs here are soft boulder clay which crumbles rapidly into the sea, and the landscape shifts year on year. The beach is sandy and relatively undeveloped, with the vast open nature of the Humber approach to the south and the unbroken Holderness plain behind. This is not a conventional resort beach but rather a wild coastal environment best suited to those who appreciate remote, natural settings.
Easington Beach is a dog friendly destination with no reported seasonal restrictions. The beach is accessible via the village and a short walk to the shore. It is quiet throughout the year due to its remote location and lack of facilities. The area around Spurn Point to the south offers excellent walking though dogs are not permitted on the Spurn nature reserve itself. Parking is limited to informal arrangements in the village.
