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 {{Convert|2|mi|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.{{cite web|url=http://www.eastriding.gov.uk/welcome/news-releases/?entryid16=46129|title=New Boat Compound Marks Start Of Major Bridlington Improvements|date=23 March 2009|publisher=East Riding of Yorkshire Council|accessdate=1 December 2009|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20110609181700/http://www.eastriding.gov.uk/welcome/news-releases/?entryid16=46129|archivedate=9 June 2011}} This is a first step in creating an integrated transport facility for Bridlington. 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.{{cite web|url=http://www.bridlingtonregeneration.com/projects/completed-projects/integrated-transport-plan-phase-1/|title=Integrated Transport Plan Phase 1|publisher=Bridlington Regeneration|accessdate=5 June 2020}}
