Spurn Head was formed when sweeping waves transported sand from Holderness Coast by long shore drift. The sand was then deposited where the North Sea meets the Humber Estuary as a result of the energy loss of the waves. This area is located on the southern extremity of the Holderness coast and it is 5.5km long, reaching across the mouth of the Humber. Spurn head is formed by long shore-drift. A bit is eroded and the sea takes it and adds it to the end. As for the curve that has just been eroded. A spit or sand spit is a deposition. Spurn Point is a spit made up of deposited material. It's creates through eroded material that's been carried by the sea from further up the coastline
