Seaside and quayside
Renowned for its mill towns, magnificent Dales and moorlands, let’s not forget that Yorkshire has over 80 miles of glorious, rugged coastline. From Cleveland down to Bridlington it’s interrupted by 8 Blue Flag sandy beaches, historic seaports, timeless promenades and colourful seaside resorts. A Heritage Coast traced by scenic pathways, and backed by the energizing stillness of the North Yorkshire Moors. Whereas the traditional charms of Staithes, Robin Hood’s Bay, historic Whitby and non-stop Filey are a magnet for families, hidden gems like Cayton Bay near Scarborough (great for surfing), and Danes Dyke Nature Reserve below Flamborough Head are well worth seeking out. And from wildlife and sealife, to a WW2 museum and white-knuckle rides, you’re never short of a weatherproof day out.
