Withernsea, seaside resort town and civil parish in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England
Withernsea is a seaside town in East Riding of Yorkshire on England's North Sea coast. The town spreads along the waterfront with a pier, promenades, and typical holiday facilities that define the character of British coastal resorts.
Withernsea developed in the 1800s as a holiday resort after the railway reached the coast. The town grew rapidly and became a popular destination for inland visitors seeking seaside recreation.
The beach here is easy to access and good for visitors of all ages, with shallow water for swimming and plenty of spots to rest. Spring through autumn is best, when the weather is mild and the town feels lively.
The town's lighthouse, built in the 1800s, is one of the oldest remaining structures and offers good views over the coast. Visitors can climb the stairs and discover the history of this distinctive landmark.
