Humberston Fitties Beach

Humberston Fitties Beach or just Fitties Beach is at the south end of the long stretch of sand at Cleethorpes in Lincolnshire at the mouth of the Humber Estuary. The beach is backed by sand dunes and a path along the top of the sea defence that runs the entire length of the beach.

Humberston Fitties Beach is dog-friendly all year round and provides the high-season dog-friendly option for those staying in Cleethorpes.

The area is interesting as behind the beach you have an area of unique chalets made from whatever was available like old railway carriages. You also have just out to sea two sand forts, originally built during WWI but used during WWII as protection for shipping, entering and leaving the estuary. The furthest out is Bull Sand Fort and the closest is Haile Sand Fort.

At the south end of the beach, you have Tetney Marsh Nature Reserve, with a selection of paths running through the marshes and ponds, although your dogs will need to be on a lead.

Fritties Beach is a very popular kitesurfing location.

The beach is a great alternative to the busy promenade in Cleethorpes. although it has no facilities, you do have a small car park on Anthony’s Bank Road.
