Fraisthorpe Beach

Barmston, United Kingdom•4.6(1.6k)•Beaches, Country Park

Explore miles of accessible sandy beach perfect for families, dog walkers, horse riders and water sports enthusiasts with breathtaking coastal views.

Fraisthorpe Beach is a hidden gem on the East Coast offering something for everyone of all ages. With its low clay cliffs providing easy accessibility, the beach welcomes families, dog walkers, horse riders, windsurfers, kite flyers and casual strollers alike. There are no dog restrictions, making it particularly popular with canine companions who can roam freely across miles of flat sand. Visitors can enjoy stunning views of Bridlington Bay and the Flamborough coastline, explore historic World War II pill boxes used as sea defences, or take a leisurely 2-mile walk to the popular resort of Bridlington. The convenient cliff-top parking puts visitors just steps from the sand, making beach access simple for families with young children and those requiring pushchair access. The beach is ideal for a full day of seaside activities or a relaxing stroll to take in the sea air. Auburn Farm @ Fraisthorpe Beach operates the beach facilities and provides the Cow Shed Tea Room and Cafe for refreshments, ensuring families have everything needed for a memorable coastal outing.

Perfect beach for dogs, horses, and kids. Easy reasonably priced parking for cars and horseboxes. Very nice dog friendly cafe on site serving hot/cold food, desserts, juice, tea and coffee. Indoor and outdoor seating. Toilet facilities available, they are not posh, but clean apart from the expected beach remenents. The beach goes on for miles, it's clean and there are old war bunkers to explore.

Beautiful, wild and windswept. Great beach for a sunny walk with your four legged friend and family. Go when the tide is out and there is acres of terrific beach to walk on. You can walk to Bridlington in about 45 minutes and there are lots of books and crannies for kids to play. Also a handy, useful cafe. Car park along the front isn't too expensive and I've always found a space even when it's peak weekend summer busy. Terrific place.

Fantastic long, wide beach even at high tide. You can see right over to flamborough headland as well as Bridlington to the left and down to Barmston to the right. Lots of people walking dogs off lead (30 + upwards both times I visited 31st Aug & 7 Sep 2025) despite the number of dogs and people there's plenty of space and you are not on top of each other, far from it in fact. Didn't come across any issues with other dogs, everybody's friendly and the dogs seem to love socialising. Car park is on uneven ground and takes a while to drive around to exit so be mindful on your parking time, also factor in your time to get to the machine after parking on arrival & paying for parking for every minute you are there because they'll have you for every minute you overstay and fine you £100. ANPR camera is right at the boundary as you enter and exit from the road. Plenty of parking though and very easy access to the beach from the car park. No steps or steep inclines/declines to access on or off beach 😁 However imo not suitable for wheelchair users as there is no path or flat ground for wheelchairs to go on it's very uneven loose ground and entry to beach is slightly sloped. Maybe you could cope if you were in a wheelchair for off-road terrain. There is a cafe in front of the car park that has a level car park with tarmac and would be suitable for wheelchair users to park and to use the cafe which could give you views of the beach but it won't help you with the access to get onto beach I'm afraid. This beach is a perfect location to walk your dog come rain or shine in either direction you can't really go wrong. There are toilets just behind the cafe which people can use. They are basic but definitely useful. I highly recommend a visit
