The blue and gold waves represent the sea and sands, the white roses are for Yorkshire. The heraldic fountain probably refers to Hornsea Mere, the largest natural lake in Yorkshire. The sun is appropriate to a resort town and is easterly position and the mural crown is a common symbol of local government.
