Most angler
will recognise the name of Sewerby Steps even if they haven't
been here. It is the northern boundary for many of the big
east coast open competitions.
Access to the beach is via Sewerby Steps
which have been built into the cliffside. The location of
the steps isn't obvious from the car park if you don't have
a map. They're behind the cabin shown on the right of the
photo below.
The steps aren't very steep but there are
a lot of them so be warned on the way back up!
At the top of the steps is the sign shown
below:.
From what I understand these discharges
are not sewage but are pollutants from malt making.
It is highly advisable to wash your hands before handling
food if you are fishing this area. The alcohol gel
hand washes from places like Superdrug are cheap, don't require
water, dry very quickly and are highly effective.
What makes Sewerby Steps an interesting
place for anglers is the fact that it's where the rough ground
meets sand and also it is relatively sheltered from big northerly
winds.
Caution:
The rocks around this area may be slippery. Pollutants are
intermittently discharged into the sea here.
