Bridlington is a coastal town and civil parish in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England, sitting on the North Sea with sweeping sandy South and North Bays, a traditional Victorian promenade and a working harbour. Its medieval priory church of St Mary and St Nicholas and the old town with fishermen's cottages give a strong historic flavour alongside Regency and Victorian seafront architecture.
Tourism and fishing remain central to the local economy, supported by holiday parks, amusements and the entertainment venue Bridlington Spa, while an active lifeboat station underlines the town's maritime character. Nearby attractions such as Flamborough Head and Bempton Cliffs draw birdwatchers and walkers, and regular rail services link the town to places like Hull and Scarborough, keeping it connected to the wider coast and region.
