Make sure you check the tide times if you want to paddle in the sea otherwise it goes really far out for miles! Can be dangerous in some parts with the mud when the tides out so keep an eye out for signs of where not to go

Visible for 17 nautical miles, this lighthouse was sectored so that mariners could identify particular shoals/sandbanks as well as the main channel through which to enter the Humber.

This spot marks the the historic prime meridian or Greenwich meridian, a geographical reference line, globally separating the east from the west the same way the equator separates the north from the south.

In 1884 zero degrees longitude was established as the Greenwich Meridian and the world's prime meridian for measuring longitude. The Greenwich Meridian line runs through Cleethorpes as it travels round the globe from north to south, and a metal plate has been set into the coastal path to mark the exact location. Usefully it also marks the distance between the Meridian and various places around the world. Keep going directly North from here, you only have 2,517 miles to get to the North Pole.

The lifeboat was first stationed here in 1810 with cottages for the lifeboat crews and the families being built within a couple of years. By 1870 there was a small residential community on Spurn Head with a room in the lighthouse being used as a chapel. The current Humber Lifeboat Station is staffed full time by a professional crew. The current lifeboat is " The Pride of Humber" a Severn-class lifeboat.

There is historical evidence of a lighthouse here since 1427 but, in the 17th century, a pair of lighthouses were built to create leading lights allowing ships to sail around the promontory and into the Humber Estuary. The present lighthouse, which stands 39 metres high, was built in 1895. Initially lit by an oil lamp, it was converted to electricity in 1941. This allowed the light to be lit briefly to aid allied ships' navigation aid and then extinguished to prevent the enemy ships benefiting. The lighthouse was decommissioned in 1985 due to improvements in on-board navigation. The Yorkshire Wildlife Trust received a grant to restore the lighthouse and open it as a visitor centre.
