Lovely little place, it was a very cold day, so the little cafe opposite the castle was very handy
An everyday tourist attraction that many will pass by our even photograph, when visiting Withernsea. It has plenty of history behind it, that's available on the NET. It changes through the seasons and you must visit it when the sea it rough and it's blowing a good North Easterly gale.
This is a little jewel in the area. It's very clean and a nice little cafe across the road. Pleasant beach, though there are plenty of steps from the promenade to the beach. I'm not sure about lifeguards, but I would imagine they're there in peak season. Plenty of seafront parking but would imagine fills up quickly on nice days. Would certainly visit this location again
Amazing trip to Withernsea! Absolutely loved it, so relaxing. Lovely little cafe hidden down a side street, 'The Rosy Leaf'. Catered for my gluten intolerance, and the cake was delicious! Took so many photos, would highly recommend! They have everything you need, all in one area. Great day spent there 😊
Came here to see the first sunrise of 2023 and wasn't disappointed! The pier buildings were well-maintained and looked after. The beach was nice and clean, so it was great to have a nice calm morning walk. It is perfect as a getaway place from a busy lifestyle. There was also a Puffin walk if one is interested in the history of this town!
