Hornsea, Beach located in Yorkshire

The beach at Hornsea is made up of fine golden sand and features a newly-developed promenade.  To the north is the picturesque Flamborough headland and stretching to the south, Spurn Point at the entrance to the River Humber.  The beach marks one end of the Trans-Pennine Trail, which passes close to Hornsea Mere, the largest freshwater lake in Yorkshire.  The nearby town, famous for its pottery, is a conservation area with historic houses dating to the 15th century and a parish church from the 12th century.
