Wilsthorpe Beach is an extensive rural sandy beach situated on the Yorkshire coast. It is 1.8 kilometres in length with a gentle slope. At low tide a large area of the beach is exposed and the water's edge can be some distance away.
The small, medieval village of Wilsthorpe lies on the East Riding coast, approximately 2 miles south of Bridlington. The long, sandy beach here slopes gently into the sea and is backed by grassy dunes and very low cliffs. At low tide a wide area of beach is exposed.
The beach makes a good destination for a bracing sea walk at any time of year. It is also popular with dog walkers and sea anglers. This area of the coastline was heavily defended during the Second World War and anti-tank blocks can be seen along the shoreline. A family friendly sailing club, The Royal Yorkshire Yacht Club Dinghy Park backs the beach here.
Nearby Bridlington has a choice of visitor attractions and other amenities. Visitors can easily explore this bustling seaside town, which offers additional amenities, shops, and attractions.
The beach is formed by a large expanse of sand with dunes and a low cliff. A good walking and fishing beach. Behind the beach is a holiday and caravan park.
