- Hornsea Beach. The sand and shingle beach at Hornsea pitches gently into the North Sea, and there’s a big difference between high and low tide, when the water goes out far beyond the wooden groynes.
- Hornsea Mere. There’s another body of water on Hornsea’s west side at the largest freshwater lake in Yorkshire. In the First World War Hornsea Mere was put to military use as a base for the Royal Naval Air Service, and later the RAF.
- Wassand Hall. Hornsea Mere belongs to the estate of Wassand Hall, a grand Regency house set in from the west shore. The estate has been owned by the same family since 1530 and encompasses woodland, a walled garden and romantic views over the lake.
