North Landing Beach Flamborough

The North Landing in Flamborough, East Yorkshire, is the smallest of four beaches in this seaside village. It is located on the north side and a few minute’s drive from the centre. It is also a popular spot for walkers and there are cliff paths going off in either direction.

What is there to do at North Landing Beach Flamborough?

The beach itself has the best sand of the four and it is an inlet surrounded by white cliffs which are popular with nesting seabirds. The beach is sometimes mistaken for Thornwick Bay. It is at the end of the road which has a turning to Thornwick Bay and also the Haven-owned Thornwick Bay caravan park. If you wanted to walk from one beach to the other it takes around half an hour via cliffs or pavement and the paved road.

Like all of the beaches in Flamborough, the walk down to the beach is steep. It’s relatively easy to walk down though with a tarmac road all the way down (not easily accessible by wheelchair or pushchair). The beach is used by fishermen to launch their fishing boats so the road has to be kept in good condition.

The beach itself is picture-perfect, especially if the fishing boats are there. There is a small cave to the left of the beach. Our son loves to climb the cliff next to this as it has lots of ledges. If there is seaweed on the beach it may be a bit smelly.

In the summer season, you can even go on boat trips from North Landing. They are onboard one of the local fishing cobles and you can enjoy a 30-minute boat trip to a smuggler’s cave and to see the seabirds or a 3-hour fishing trip. Boat trips are run according to the tide and the weather.
