Spurn Point is one of the most striking features of Britain's coastline, stretching for three and a half miles across the Humber Estuary.
This curving spit is only 50 metres wide in places, making it look like an elongated tongue. Spurn is a relatively small place but it's got lots of variety, and, if you know where to look, there's some great plants and animals. It's one of the most fragile and unique environments in the whole of the UK.
Our islands offer amazing opportunities for wildlife watching. Why not take a few tips from the Hands on Nature team - from bird watching to reptile hunting.
Best season: the best time to see migrant birds at Spurn Point is March and October. Get up early to make the most of your trip.
Look out for common lizards in July when their young are born.
