The
LOIS study of the Holderness coastline:

funded by NERC, examines the role of fluvial and marine processes
in the everyday life of the Holderness coastline (including Spurn
Head). The website has excellent scientific text, photos and graphics,

Geology and Geomorphology
of the East Yorkshire coast:

A lovely
site for exploring the geography and geology of a stretch of English
coastline. The varied content (still under development, April 2000)
includes Spurn Point, Scarborough, former alum quarrying at Sandsend
and a buried paleo-cliff at Sewerby. There are also some interesting
external links!
