Fraisthorpe Beach is a flat, sandy beach backed by low clay cliffs, stretching for approximately one kilometre in length with a gentle slope. At low tide, a large area of the beach is exposed, and the water's edge can be some distance away. The beach is part of Bridlington Bay, a sandy stretch of coastline that stretches for many miles southwards, down to the Humber Estuary.
The beach is perfect for walking, with dogs allowed all year round. It is also a good beach for horse riding, particularly in the quieter months of the year. In summer, Fraisthorpe beach is a popular spot for taking a dip in the North Sea, although there is no lifeguard service. The beach is also suitable for kite-surfing thanks to the wide, relatively flat expanse of sand. Additionally, Fraisthorpe is known as a naturist beach, with a recognised area for naturists around a quarter of a mile south of Auburn Farm.
There is pay-for parking available at Auburn Farm, which is slightly raised from the level of the beach. However, there is no wheelchair access to the beach. The village of Fraisthorpe is set back about a mile from the beach, with the nearest large town being Bridlington, about 4 miles to the north. Bridlington has a large range of pubs, shops, and restaurants, and is renowned for its shellfish.
The water is shallow for quite a distance, making it great for paddling, especially for families with young children. You can wade out quite far and still be at a safe depth, making it a popular spot for swimming and splashing around.
