Whitby Beach (West Cliff)
Whitby's windswept beach stretches beneath the dramatic ruins of its ancient abbey, where Victorian promenaders once strolled and Bram Stoker found inspiration for Dracula. The wide sandy expanse is perfect for fossil hunting at low tide, while the historic harbor mouth creates a sheltered spot for families. Beach huts line the West Cliff, and the iconic pier offers stunning views across the North Sea, making this one of Yorkshire's most atmospheric coastal destinations.
