As far as I'm aware (from the last time I went there, which was only a few weeks ago) it is only the central part of Hornsea beach where dogs are banned in Summer. You can take them on the northern and southern parts at any time of the year.
I believe that dogs are allowed at Mappleton (just to the south of Hornsea) and at Skipsea (to the north). (Small car park and toilets are available at Mappleton, I'm not sure about Skipsea)
Our own personal favourite beach to take our dog is at Fraisthorpe (just south of Bridlington) but still not too far at all from Hornsea. It is a quiet beach, but when the tide is out there are miles of flat sands. There is a little car park, toilet and snack-van at Fraisthorpe too, which is always handy.
If you want any further clarification, you could try the East Riding Council's Foreshore Office, who should have the updated information:
Foreshores Office : open all year round during normal office hours.Tel 01262 678255
I hope you enjoy your trip to the coast. Do come back and tell us all about it... :o)
Best wishes

New Dogs Allowed Page by: Charlotte
I've just added a whole new page for where dogs are allowed along the Yorkshire coast.
It includes beaches, accomodation, eating out and ideas for days out with dogs - so hope you will find it useful.
