I'm thinking of doing this 15 mile walk one day soon when its not cold and the tides are right. Getting off the beach is very difficult in some places, easy in others.
If anyone can add to the list below, or add comments, I'd be very grateful.

Hornsea - OK except at high tide when access to south cliff is blocked
Mappleton - easy ramp access
Great Cowden - unknown
Mount pleasant / Aldborough - very difficult broken cliff
East Newton - unknown
Ringborough - easy on temporary ramp.
Monkwith - unknown
Tunstall - easy?
Waxholme - unknown
Withernsea - easy access

I might do that - something to sit on on the beach.

Having just 'walked' the route on a large scale map it seems that most of it is below cliffs typically 10 to 12 metres high in most places, up to 21 metres north and south of Grimston. There are breaches in the cliffs in various places but I wouldn't like to give specific advice without having first hand knowledge of the area.

15 miles at a good walking pace should take about 4 hours but on beaches with frequent obstacles, slippery rocks and other hazards it could take considerably longer. You've got about 12 hours 20 minutes between successive high tides, less when you allow for the fact that the beaces are covered for some of this time.

Before setting off check the tide times. You may want to walk the route on a day when the tides are at the lowest so in this respect chose a day 8 to 12 days after a full or new moon.

The coastguard station at Withernsea should be a able to give you more specific advice.
