Filey Brigg & Beach
Filey Brigg
A natural rocky reef that extends about 1.5 km into the sea, beside an 8 km sandy beach that suits families.
Filey Brigg is a natural rock peninsula about 1.5 km long. At low tide you can walk along the reef to its tip to look at rock pools, seabirds and the occasional seal. Return before the tide comes in. On the south side of the headland, Filey Beach stretches about 8 km, with fine soft sand and calm water, making it a quieter family holiday destination than Scarborough. The headland is also where the Cleveland Way and the Yorkshire Wolds Way meet. It is about 12 km from Scarborough.
