Withernsea Sands: Buckets, Bags and Big Community Spirit

Withernsea Sands

At Withernsea Sands Holiday Park, community care and environmental responsibility go hand in hand. As part of the Great British Beach Clean, holiday home owners and park team members joined forces to collect more than 20 bags of litter from the local coastline. This practical action not only protects fragile marine wildlife but also ensures Withernsea’s beach remains a clean, welcoming place for residents, visitors, and future generations.

But the holiday park’s role in the community goes far beyond a single clean-up day. Withernsea Sands contributes to the town’s success all year round—attracting thousands of holidaymakers who support the local economy by spending in independent shops, cafés, fish and chip shops, and other much-loved businesses. In doing so, the park helps sustain the livelihoods of local families and keeps the spirit of this traditional seaside town thriving.

Key Achievements

It’s a clear example of how holiday parks deliver real impact: protecting nature, supporting local economies, and nurturing the places people love.

This is part of the #ParksMakePlaces campaign, celebrating how holiday parks support people, places and the planet.
