Withernsea is a seaside resort, the largest in Holderness. The pier towers on the promenade were once the entrance to a 364m (1200ft) long pier that stretched out into the North Sea.

The beachfront heads in both directions from the pier towers and at the south end you can see the impact of the fast coastal erosion in this part of Yorkshire. Where the sea defences end, the coastline takes a sudden turn inland.

The new Withernsea pier: technological feat and popular success
Despite some damage during its construction, the 1,196-feet-long pier was completed by August 1877. Built entirely out of iron, except for the brick entrance and wooden decking, the pier used the new technology of screw piles, which were driven deep into the ground. Seating was provided along the full length of the pier and a saloon and hall for entertainment was situated at the pier head. The entrance to the pier consisted of two castellated towers, rumoured to be based on Conwy Castle in Wales.
