A lighthouse was first built on the Flamborough Headland in 1669 but was never lit. The current lighthouse was built in 1806 and acts as a waypoint for deep sea vessels and coastal traffic as well as marking the Flamborough Headland for vessels heading for the ports of Scarborough and Bridlington.

Give Wildlife Space
It is normal for seals to rest on land, so we need to leave them there. Disturbance is damaging for a seal.
When seal watching:
- Keep quiet (so Seals can’t hear us)
- Keep out of sight (so Seals can’t see us)
- Keep downwind (so Seals can’t smell us)
- Keep well away: Use your zoom, binoculars or telescope
- Do not take Seal selfies
- Do not feed wild Seals
- Do not fly drones near Seals
- Do not name/promote Seal sites on social media
- Litter kills wildlife: Please take it home
