Scab Nab is a prominent headland located on the Yorkshire coastline in England. It is situated near the popular seaside town of Bridlington and is a notable coastal feature in the region. The headland is characterized by its rugged cliffs and stunning views of the North Sea.

Scab Nab is a point that juts out into the sea, creating a natural boundary between the coastline and the open waters. The headland is composed of limestone and chalk, which gives it a distinct appearance and contributes to its geological significance. The cliffs that line Scab Nab are known to be home to a variety of seabirds, including gulls and cormorants, making it a popular spot for birdwatchers.

Due to its location, Scab Nab offers visitors a unique perspective of the surrounding area. On clear days, one can enjoy panoramic views of the coastline, with the town of Bridlington visible to the south and the expansive sea stretching out towards the east. The headland also provides an excellent vantage point for watching the dramatic crashing waves and the occasional passing ships.

Scab Nab is easily accessible to the public, with footpaths and trails leading up to the headland from nearby areas. It is a popular destination for outdoor enthusiasts, hikers, and nature lovers who seek to explore the beautiful Yorkshire coastline.
