Cleethorpes Humberston (Fitties)

Humberston beach valso known as Huberstone Fitties is a stretch of golden sand separated by groynes at the south end of Cleethorpes. ('Fitties' is a local word meaning 'salt marsh'. The Humberston Fitties were originally one of a number of fitties along this part of the coastline. Nearby Cleethorpes actually sits on the Humber Estuary and the sea at Cleethorpes is actually the mouth of the Humber.) On a clear day you can also see across the Humber to Spurn Point. This part of the beach has many sand dunes and is also a conservation area. The area has very little in the way of facilities. There are no public toilet facilities however there is toilet access areas for paying customers at the Humber Mouth Yacht Club. The area adjacent to the beach is a public bridal walkway along the top of the Sea defence, a footpath that runs the entire length of the beach. This allows access through the centre of the Humberston Fitties beach. This is used by many dog walkers, cyclists and bird watchers. Dogs are allowed on this beach throughout the year; however, they should be kept under reasonable control due to ground nesting birds in the area. Location Updated by: Dave Bourne - (Thanks Dave :o)
