Hornsea Beach

Hornsea's sand runs for several miles between timber groynes below a two-tier promenade, and the seasonal dog ban covers only the middle of it. The East Riding of Yorkshire Council dog Public Spaces Protection Order names the excluded stretch as Hornsea Beach between the concrete ramp at Headland View and the steps south of Sands Lane, and applies it from 1 May to 30 September only. Everything north of the Headland View ramp towards Mappleton and everything south of the Sands Lane steps towards Rolston stays open every day of the year, and from 1 October to 30 April the whole beach is open with no lead requirement anywhere on the sand. Park in the pay and display car parks off Marine Drive by the leisure centre; the upper and lower promenades are linked by ramps, so a dog that will not do steps can still get down. The exclusion zone is signposted at both ends and there are location maps along the promenade.
