Wilsthorpe is a hamlet in the civil parish of Carnaby, in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England. It is situated on the coast just off the A165 road and approximately 2 miles (3.2 km) south of Bridlington.

In 2009 the East Riding of Yorkshire Council constructed a new 150 place secure boat compound at Wilsthorpe to replace an existing facility at South Shore, Bridlington.^[1] This is a first step in creating an integrated transport facility for Bridlington.^[1] As part of the first phase, access to the hamlet was improved by the addition of a roundabout on the A165 (now A1038) which also provided access to a new park and ride facility on South Shore adjacent to the hamlet.^[2]
