Fraisthorpe Beach

Visit Fraisthorpe Beach

Fraisthorpe beach is popular seaside destination, just south of Bridlington, on the East Yorkshire coast.

The water is shallow for quite a distance, which is great for paddling, especially for families with young children. You can wade out quite far and still be at a safe depth, making it a popular spot for swimming and splashing around.

The flat sands are also suitable for horse riding, and you might spot riders enjoying the scenic views along the beach.

Kitesurfing

Thanks to the low sand dunes surrounding the beach, it tends to be windier than other nearby beaches. This makes it a fantastic location for windsurfing and kitesurfing, attracting enthusiasts looking to catch some thrills on the water.

Fraisthorpe Beach is also home to remnants of World War II, with several pillboxes still visible along the shoreline. These structures add a unique historical element to your visit and can be fun for kids to explore.

The Cow Shed Café, located near the beach, offers a variety of hot and cold food options, perfect for a post-beach snack. The café is dog-friendly, allowing you to enjoy a meal with your furry friend by your side. The beach also has toilets open year-round for visitor convenience.

Fraisthorpe Beach is dog-friendly all year round, and a great place to take the dogs. Lovely long walks and wide open space.
