Sandsend
A long beach about 5 km north of Whitby that can be walked there and back, ending at a quiet village.
Sandsend is a long beach extending north from the West Cliff of Whitby. At its end, two small streams flow into the sea, and the village is quiet and pleasant. At low tide you can walk along the beach from Whitby in about an hour, and return by bus or along the old railway path. The beach is wide and suits dog walking, horse riding and surfing. Cafés in the village, such as Wit's End, are popular.
