Hi Mike,
In response to your question, you can drive most of the way along the Spurn Spithead, to within a
few hundred metres of the very tip. Towards the end on the right-hand side is an old disused
lighthouse, with a water tank on top of it. This is roughly where the carpark is. From here you will
see a long jetty that serves as access to the Humber Lifeboat and Spurn Pilot Station, at low water
you can walk right around the spit, its a sandy beach.
There is a charge levied on motorists (was about £2) you cannot take dogs onto Spurn Head, not even
if they don't leave the car.
Spurn Head is a strange and fascinating place and well worth the long drive or detour to reach it.
Its feels most strange parking your car at the end and then seeing huge ocean going ships
manoevouring so close to you. The Bull Sand & Haile Forts can also be viewed from the point.
I hope you enjoy your visit to this place.
Nigel
