This unique triangular headland pointing out into the North Sea is an extension of the Yorkshire Wolds and the most northerly outcrop of chalk in Europe. The combination of hard chalk overlain by glacial material gives rise to a coastal landscape type found nowhere else in Britain. The reserve is part of one of the finest stretches of coastland on the east coast, and is the most northerly outcrop of coastal chalk in the British Isles. This unique sea and cliff environment is protected as a Site of Special Scientific Interest and its seabird colonies mark it as a Special Protection Area. The offshore environment has been identified as a Sensitive Marine Area and a Special Area of Conservation. In 1979 the area was designated a Heritage Coast due to its rich history and landscape.
This site has a large car park. It is possible to get down to the beach but this is via a long flight of steps. Please note the site has toilets open all year round, and a cafe and shop open in the summer months. Picnic benches are provided.
