Flamborough Head, with its chalk cliffs and lighthouse, is one of the most dramatic stretches of coastline in East Yorkshire — a genuinely different holiday backdrop to the flatter beaches further south.
Seabird colonies
The cliffs here host one of England’s largest seabird colonies, including puffins in season — worth timing a visit for if birdwatching is of any interest, and a genuinely memorable sight even if it isn’t.
Coves and caves
Flamborough’s coastline is dotted with coves and sea caves, best explored on a calm day and with proper footwear given the terrain — ask locally about safe access points and tide times.
Nearby towns
Bridlington and Scarborough are both within easy reach if you want a proper town base alongside the headland itself — see our Bridlington and Scarborough guides.
