Withernsea Lighthouse, Grade II listed lighthouse in Withernsea, England.

The octagonal brick tower reaches 127 feet in height and features 144 steps leading to a viewing platform overlooking the Holderness coastline.

Construction of the lighthouse began in 1892 and took 18 months to complete, responding to numerous shipwrecks along the Yorkshire coast.

The lighthouse museum displays exhibits about local maritime heritage, lifeboats, coastguards, and pays tribute to film actress Kay Kendall.

Visitors can access the lighthouse for £4.50 per adult, with reduced rates for children and seniors, including access to exhibits and coastal views.

Located inland 400 meters from the shoreline, the structure contains antennae that provide mobile phone coverage for the local area.
