Cons:
"Car park in a poor state and no access to the sea front at all for disabled or infirm due to steep steps."

"Sorry, may not be ideal for Disabled or infirm due to the steep access."
"Not all is wheelchair accessible."
"There's a steep climb back to the CP from the fog horn so people with mobility issues might think twice about going all the way."

Scenery and Wildlife

"Great views of seals & their pups & many nesting sea birds: kittiwakes, razor bills, guillemots, cormorants & fulmar."
"Beautiful piece of coastline with a wide range of birds to be seen."
Cons:
"Only criticism is at certain points cliff edge could be misconstrued and needs a more prominent sign."
"Some walks along cliff edge are not suitable for young children because of fall danger."
"Footpaths are narrow and very close to the edge in places so best to keep inquisitive dogs on leads in these areas."
"Walkers be careful, the cliff edge is undercut along some the footpath leaving overhangs of two feet which, from the land side, look to be solid but are not."
"But PLEASE be aware of the cliff edge's!!! They are high up."
"Some of the tread underfoot can be a bit difficult for the unsteady walkers."
"However be aware the sand can at times be more like mud."

Cons:
"But beware of the £5 each admission fee through the visitor center."
"Heartbroken...totally utterly bitterly One of my favourite places to stay in the van with the grandkids, now no longer to be used by campervans."
"Lot's of rules and regulations. Has been spoilt lately."
"The car park ticket machine is not easy to use, click directly on to get the lower rate."
"Cafe, good parking but both parking machines would only take cash (contactless & cards would not work)."
"Make sure you get a parking ticket, cars are checked regularly & were photographed while we were there."
"Walked up for an ice cream and was served by the slowest girl in the world, she was completely uninterested and looked like she'd rather be elsewhere."
Experience
Pros:
"Had an amazing walk round the cliffs to Flamborough then back along the road to the RSPB reserve."

Cons:
"Parking can be quite busy, so try to get there early."
"A lovely place but very touristy."
"Watch out for the tides."
"The local pubs weren't very friendly towards anyone with children."
"The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because we wanted to visit the lighthouse but it closed at 3.30pm which in the height of summer we felt this was too early."
"Pretty clean although some of our resting spots were quite littered. Please take your rubbish home."
"Very misty & extremely muddy but never-the-less magestic."
