Tunstall Beach, located on the Yorkshire coast, is a rural sandy beach that offers a tranquil setting for couples and young families. .
Tunstall Beach is a long, rural beach situated on the Yorkshire coast, stretching for approximately one kilometre in length and covered with a mix of sand and pebbles. The beach is set amongst low, craggy clay cliffs and is a popular destination for those seeking a peaceful retreat.
The beach is backed by the Holderness Cliff and rural land on the cliff top, where a caravan park and farmland can be found. A raised peat bed, once a large mere (marsh), is also located on the beach, with a settlement known as Sand-le-Mere visible at low tide. This ancient site is of interest to historians, with Hull museum holding the hind-leg bone of a red deer excavated from this site.
Tunstall Beach is popular with families and those seeking a tranquil spot, and is also one of the best spots for fishing in the area. However, access to the beach for visitors not staying at the holiday park can be difficult due to the rapidly eroding coastline. The beach is dog friendly all year round, and walkers can enjoy the trails in the area, including the Greenwich Meridian Trail, which starts at nearby Sand le Mere holiday village.
The beach is famous for being the first point of the Prime Meridian in the UK, marked by a marker on the clifftop. Visitors can also explore the surrounding countryside, which offers scenic views and opportunities to spot wildlife.
