Thornwick Bay
is a northerly facing bay just around the corner from Flamborough
Head. At high water on a sunny day with a flat sea it is one
of the most picturesque places I've visited - crystal blue
sea with white chalk cliffs, topped with a lush green grass.
Fishing here is a real privilege.
There is also a snack hut next to the parking area which is
open throughout
the summer season.
Access to the beach is via either the footpath
in front of the snack hut or by the footpath to the right
of the parking area, which is far easier (both marked on the
main map). Do not try to use the steps and footpath to the
left of the parking area - see below.
If you get the weather, tide, seastate and
bait right then Thornwick Bay can throw up some excellent
catches.
This Scarborough angler has a fine brace of cod.
It's also good to see a lady angler catching
and enjoying her sport.
Thornwick Bay is located just before the
North Landing. Look out for the sign below - this is where
you turn in.
Caution:
Not
only can the rocks here be slippery, they can also be very
sharp due to masses of barnacles etc.
