Coast

North Yorkshire’s coastline is a captivating blend of rugged cliffs, sandy beaches and charming seaside towns, creating a mosaic of natural beauty and cultural heritage. Whether you’re after relaxation or adventure, family memories or some well-deserved ‘me time’, the Yorkshire coast has it all.

Scarborough, the original seaside resort, is a delight with its twin bays, evocative castle, vibrant atmosphere and traditional attractions that will please everyone in your group. Whitby, with its world-famous gothic abbey, quirky independent shops and fascinating museums, is an absolute must-visit. Meanwhile, the seaside town of Filey boasts five miles of glorious golden sand, rich maritime history and stunning walks.

Nestled between the bigger resorts are characterful coastal villages brimming with winding cobbled streets, fossil-filled cliffs, sweeping bays, unspoilt countryside and independent shops, cafés and restaurants.

For outdoor enthusiasts, there’s no shortage of activities. Surf the waves at Scarborough, cycle through the serene countryside, walk National Trails, or simply relax and build sandcastles on award-winning beaches.
