Barmston Beach

Thought I would try this beach as it’s one I haven’t been to before and is all year round dog friendly. I had read that there was parking for 50 cars, but had some abandon caravans in. When we got there, it was all closed off so no parking except on the vergers ( read that people had got tickets for doing this) not sure if you can park in the caravan site or not. We risked it and parked on the verge and thankfully didn’t get a ticket. Very unclear how to get to the beach, but if you walk towards the far end of the caravan site, there is path which leads down to the beach, it’s not easy to get down onto the beach so beware if your not sure footed. The beach itself, was pretty quiet and we walked left until we got to a concrete jetty and could walk no further. Had a paddle in the sea, it’s mainly a sandy beach with areas of pebbles. To be honest I wouldn’t bother coming here, I would much prefer to head to fraisthorpe beach instead.

Lovely quiet beach. There are 2 ways onto the beach, if you turn right from the road there's a steep sandy path down (this could be hard for some people to manage) or if you turn left you go around the edge of the camp site and down a path by a field - here there are a few easier routes onto the beach which are not steep (but a wheel chair or scooter wouldn't be able to get down here). We walked to Bridlington and back along the beach one day and the next day we walked in the opposite direction to Skipsea (Only do this when you know the tide is out, else walk on the coastal path because there are limited opportunities to get off the beach due to eroding banks/cliffs and you don't want to get trapped by the sea ). Whilst sitting on Barmston beach we could see dolphins jumping in the water not too far from the shore! Sadly on this same day we also saw a dead seal on the beach 😢.

Lovely beach. Clean apart from the odd empty can 🙄 Bit awkward to get onto if you're not very sprightly 😉 But did manage to go down to it 3 days/nights out of 4 🥰

It exceeded our expectations! A wonderful beach for family fun! Great for kids. The water was warm. On July 11, 2025, I visited, the water was warmer than beaches I've been to in Portugal and Brazil. I was pleasantly surprised.

Lovely day out ,long stretch of sandy beach could walk for miles.
