Selwick's Bay

Description

Welcome to Selwick's Bay

Designated Bathing Beach which holds a Seaside Award. The terrain leading down to the beach is difficult so caution is needed

The 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. Selwick's Bay is located beneath Flamborough Lighthouse and is popular with visitors and geoloy students.

Parking

Parking for 100 cars (charges apply).

Accessibility

Access to the beach at Selwicks Bay is via a long steep pathway that in mostly stepped. It is therefore not suitable for wheelchair users or people with limited mobility. There is a car park with toilets at the top next to the lighthouse.
