Withernsea is a seaside resort town in the East Riding of Yorkshire which forms the focal point for a wider community of small villages in Holderness. Its most famous landmark is the white inland lighthouse, rising around 38 metres above Hull Road. The lighthouse, no longer active, now houses a museum. There are several miles of pebble beaches over which large clay cliffs loom. Coastal erosion is a significant problem for coastal villages in the area, and much of the local council's money has been spent on upgrading the town's coastal defences: huge stone boulders now protect the sea wall. The sea wall is now being extended down towards the Golden Sands Chalet Park.
