locations
The towns of Bridlington (population 35,441 as per 2019 estimate), Hornsea (pop. 8,793) and Withernsea (pop. 6,381) border the coast and are protected by substantial sea defences. Villages, except for Mappleton, are located a little inland but most have a cliff top community associated with them. Hamlets and other sites are shown on the map.
