Coastal Safety Reminder

August 7, 2012
By

East Riding of Yorkshire boasts some of the most stunning coastline and safe bathing areas in the UK. Whilst none of the thousands of visitors to the area has reported any injury or near miss incidents this year, other coastal areas have been less fortunate. In conjunction with the ‘Explore the East Riding Coast’ brochure, which promotes a host of safe activities available along the 85km coastline (available on-line at www2.eastriding.gov.uk/leisure/tourism-and-attractions/coastal-attractions/east-riding-coast/safety-advice/ and in hard copy from tourist information centres in Bridlington, Hornsea and Withernsea), the council would also like to remind visitors that the natural beauty of the area does hide some natural phenomena which need to be treated with a degree of caution. To ensure that residents and tourists are able to fully enjoy the East Riding coast, the Council would remind people about potential safety issues on beaches and cliff tops. This follows recent coastal erosion losses in Mappleton, and landslips in the south of England. Large sections of the East Riding’s 85-kilometre coastline are affected by coastal erosion due to natural processes. Cliff losses linked to coastal erosion can occur at any time of the year and both visitors and residents are advised to take care on…
