Mappleton Beach

Mappleton Beach is an all-year, dog-friendly beach with a large area of sand backed by small cliffs. The cliffs suffer from erosion, so care must be taken, especially when searching for fossils.

This is just part of a continuous stretch of Yorkshire beaches and a good walk is to start at Hornsea and walk southwards to Mappleton, stop off for some tea and cake, then head back.

Facilities at Mappleton Beach include a hard-surfaced free car park, toilets and tea rooms set back a little from the beach. The car park is quite small and can become full, and with no other parking options, this always makes the beach feel empty.
