Bridlington harbour is situated to the west of Flamborough Head in a bay sheltered from northerly winds and often quoted as the finest venue for yacht racing on the east coast.

The staff maintain a 24 hr watch in the tidal harbour which support 190 vessels. The larger proportion are private craft (yachts and cabin cruisers) along with 40 commercial shellfishing vessels, all individually owned, and the seasonal holiday trade is catered for with pleasure and angling boats.

Fourteen staff are employed by the Bridlington Harbour Commissioners and of these, four are part time staff.

The listed North and South Piers were constructed between 1817 and 1848 giving a harbour area of 4.38 hectares.

The western extremity of the Flamborough Head S.A.C. is within a mile of the harbour entrance and the Commissioners are actively involved in its management.

A small booklet giving a brief history of Bridlington Harbour can be obtained at the Harbour Office F.O.C.
