The East coast of Yorkshire has some brilliant beaches, here are just a few…
Spurn Head. Great for solitude and beach combing.

Hornsea…A good walk starts from here and always plenty of space. Only accessible at low tide though.

Filey. Safe to swim if you can stand the cold water. Otherwise just enjoy a walk all the way to Hornsea or Spurn Head if you’re feeling fit…

Scarborough. A choice of North Bay mainly for surfers, or South bay for families.

If you are feeling brave you might consider a dip in the sea on New Years Day…

Further up north is Saltburn, but between Scarborough and Saltburn are lots of discrete hidden little beaches Ideal if you are into naturism… :astonished:

Shark attacks are rare and most beaches have safe patrolled areas.
Crocodiles are only in northern states - most such places have safe swimming areas too

I thought Whitehaven Beach had that claim.

Have not been to Jervis Bay. I have been to Whitehaven beach - sand there is certainly very white.

Probably one of those claims Aussies from different states like to bicker over.

With the sewage problem the way it is at the moment there’s not many beaches around Britain that I would swim from and that’s a great shame.
