Situated on the Yorkshire Coast, Fraisthorpe Beach is a large sandy beach which is surrounded by low clay cliffs.

What is Fraisthorpe Beach like?

Across the two World Wars, numerous pillboxes were built along Fraisthorpe Beach as part of anti-invasion measures. Today you can still explore these structures, with the largest surviving ones lying at the beach entrance. These structures make for photo-ops and hands-on learning for little explorers!

Fraisthorpe’s vast beach makes it ideal for scenic walks and kite-flying. You may even spot horses riding along the flat sands! At both high and low tide, there is still plenty of beach to explore and let off some steam. Why not pack some buckets and spades and try to build the largest sandcastle you can?

If you fancy getting wet, the  waters are shallow enough for a paddle. Fraisthorpe is also very popular for wind-surfing, thanks to these waters and frequent winds. The beach is quite windy because of the low sand dunes.

Accessibility

You can reach the beach from the adjacent car park via a level path. Furthermore, nearby facilities are also easily accessible. Fraisthorpe Beach is suitable for dogs.
