A key industry in the village is tourism and there is a caravan park located on former agricultural land near the beach. The cliffs are made of soft marl clay and are subject to erosion. Numerous properties have been demolished over the years to prevent them from falling into the sea. The position of a road leading down to the beach (long since lost to the sea) is clearly visible. The road still exists to the clifftop, which is blocked off by a barrier, and the rocks that supported the slope are still visible at low tide, giving an indication of how far the cliff has eroded. The coast road was completely lost to the sea by 1996. Barmston is one of the worst locations in England for coastal erosion; in 1967, 20 feet (6 m) of coastline was lost over just two days due to storms in October. The rate of erosion varies from year to year and is down to the tides and which way the winds are blowing, but typically the amount is between 4 feet (1.2 m) and 8 feet 2 inches (2.5 m) per year.Barmston is the proposed landfall site for a carbon capture and storage scheme linking the proposed Don Valley Power Project at Stainforth, near Hatfield in South Yorkshire and the White Rose CCS project at Drax Power Station in North Yorkshire with porous rock beneath the North Sea.
