Beaches in and around Whitby

A traditional family beach below Whitby's West Cliff, with beach huts, donkey rides and a paddling pool right by the pier.

A quieter fishing-village beach next to Whitby, with rock pools to explore among the sand and low cliffs.

A cobbled fishing village tumbling down a ravine to a Jurassic shale foreshore, where ammonites turn up and the Coast to Coast Walk ends.
