Of course, depending on exactly where you would like to go, you might not even need a car. This part of the Yorkshire Coast has great bus and train links. So, we urge you to research these if you have a particular location in mind. 

Let’s take a look, then, at some of the most exciting possibilities for day trips from Hull in the UK. 

Enjoying The Relaxed Seaside Vibes of Hornsea 

Reachable in about half an hour by car from Hull, the seaside town of Hornsea offers a slower and more laidback vibe than the bigger Yorkshire Coast resorts like Scarborough and Bridlington. It is famous for its long and sandy beach, lined by an attractive promenade. 

You might come here on a day trip to stroll along the shore, while admiring the stunning North Sea views. As you do so, why not grab some fish and chips on the seafront? This may be followed by wandering into the town centre to explore the independent shops. 

About two miles inland from the coast is Yorkshire’s largest freshwater lake, Hornsea Mere. This is a great spot for birdwatching, boat trips, or a gentle walk. 

Catching Some Rays on Bridlington’s Two Beaches 

Travelling by car, it’ll take you about 50 minutes to complete the 26-mile journey to Bridlington. Direct trains are also available from Hull, taking about 45 minutes. 

When you get to the town, you will be treated to a charming, family-friendly resort that offers plenty of things to do. Key to the attractiveness of Bridlington is that it offers not one, but two award-winning beaches, divided by the harbour. 

Located north of the harbour, North Beach features sand and shingle, and is backed by traditional amusements and chalets. South Beach, meanwhile, is a lengthier, golden sandy beach with a more laidback atmosphere. This makes it ideal for games, sunbathing, and strolls. 

Marvelling At the Dramatic Cliffs and Wildlife of Flamborough Head 

Flamborough Head is arguably one of the must-do day trips from Hull in the UK. You can get there in about an hour in the car. Alternatively, you can take a train to the nearest station, Bridlington. This can be followed by a short bus or taxi ride to Flamborough village and the headland. 

With its combination of monumental white cliffs, historic lighthouses, and beautiful coastal walks, Flamborough Head will provide plenty of material for your Instagram feed. The various sea stacks, natural arches, and hidden coves make up a captivating landscape that you won’t be able to resist exploring. 

But of course, one of the best reasons to visit Flamborough Head is the abundance of wildlife-spotting opportunities. As you walk the headland paths, be sure to keep an eye out for puffins, gannets, and seals. The nearby RSPB Bempton Cliffs reserve is home to the UK’s largest mainland seabird colony, with about half a million birds gathering there every year. 

Taking In the Quiet Beauty and Long Sands of Filey 

If you favour peace over hustle from a day-trip destination, a visit to Filey could suit you very nicely. This North Yorkshire resort can be reached from Hull in approximately an hour by car. 

Filey’s five-mile stretch of sandy beach offers a gentler and more tranquil seaside experience than other Yorkshire Coast towns. Many people visiting from Hull love to walk Filey Brigg, a rocky outcrop ideal for exploring at low tide. 

While we’re on the subject of walking, we can’t fail to mention Filey Bay’s lovely, long Victorian promenade. It extends along the seafront, offering a historic walkway with chalets, a sculpture trail, and ice cream stalls.
