Tide Times and Birdwatching Seasons
Before embarking on your adventure, it's essential to check the tide times significantly since Spurn Point is cut off at high tide. Planning your visit around the tides will allow you to explore the full extent of the peninsula safely. Additionally, if you're a birdwatching enthusiast, consider visiting during the migration seasons in spring and autumn. During these times, the skies above Spurn Point come alive with the sights and sounds of thousands of birds on the move, making it a prime opportunity for birdwatching.
