Sandsend beach
10 Wendy Mitchell

This beautiful beach offers the opportunity to discover fossils and rocks, and it is also dog-friendly, with nearby cafes and gift shops. An additional benefit is that the beach can be accessed without having to navigate steep cliff paths.

Whitby Beach
8 Jaxon Reed

Whitby is a beautiful coastal destination, but it seems that the amount of tourists is heavily influenced by the weather. It could be enhanced further with additional shops, and having a McDonald's would be beneficial. Additionally, it's quite surprising that everything closes as early as 9pm.

North Bay beach

This serene beach is perfect for dog owners looking for a peaceful getaway. The area offers ample space for your furry companions to run around, as long as you remain considerate of other visitors. Venture to the far end of the beach and you'll discover rock pools and shallow waters, ideal for splashing around with your dog, children or even yourself. Conveniently, parking is available on the promenade above and can be paid for using the JustPark app, so you don't have to worry about carrying cash. Overall, this beach is a fantastic spot to visit with your four-legged friends and a much more pleasant alternative to the chaotic Bridlington beach.

This beach is truly incredible and conveniently located nearby. It's a perfect spot for families to enjoy. The museum is exceptionally fascinating, offering plenty of things to see and learn. Additionally, they have an adventure playground and a cafe right on site. The woodland walk is absolutely fantastic, and the Aviary is truly amazing.
