Escape the hustle of daily life and discover the beauty of the Yorkshire Coast. Whether you spend your time building sandcastles on the beach, strolling through beautiful countryside or riding the crest of a wave on a surfboard, you’ll leave feeling refreshed and invigorated.

If it’s seaside fun you’re after you can’t beat the resort towns of Scarborough, Whitby and Filey. Endless miles of golden sandy beaches washed by clean, safe bathing water is just the start of what’s on offer in these vibrant towns.

As the country’s first seaside resort Scarborough has all you would expect from a traditional British holiday but is now attracting new crowds with its funky shops and burgeoning surf scene. Museums, galleries and a medieval castle are just some of its cultural gems and for those looking for something to do once the sun has gone down, there’s a lively entertainment scene.

A ruined Abbey looks down on the popular maritime town of Whitby and its bustling quayside. Steeped in history, each twist of the town’s close-cobbled streets reveals a different story from explorers and smugglers to Dracula and whaling. In Filey, stroll along the elegant Edwardian Crescent or sit back and watch the world go by in one of its scenic gardens.

Heading inland, you will find beautiful countryside including wild heather moorland, rolling hills, ancient woodland and wildlife rich wetlands. All of this can be explored on foot, bike, horseback and even on-board a romantic steam train that will drop you off in idyllic country villages along the way.
