The Times newspaper has named Hunmanby Sands as the third best beach in the north of England. Once again the Gap Cafe is mentioned in the piece and there’s a welcome name check for the Battle of Flamborough Head.

The Gap Cafe is becoming something of a niche designation among the readers of broadsheets, having previously been singled out when Hunmanby Sands won a similar award last year. The spectacular RSPB reserve at Bempton is a staple in newspaper articles, but the appearance of the wreck of the Laura is definitely a first. Undoubtedly our friends at Filey Bay 1779 will be delighted that the Battle of Flamborough Head is mentioned in dispatches.
