A lighthouse was first built on the Flamborough Headland in 1669 but was never lit. The current lighthouse was built in 1806 and acts as a waypoint for deep sea vessels and coastal traffic as well as marking the Flamborough Headland for vessels heading for the ports of Scarborough and Bridlington.
(taken from Trinity House Website)

The old Lighthouse also stands approximately 200 yards away, There is uncertainty as to whether it was ever lit.
