The Experience
North Yorkshire has some of the Country's finest surfing beaches and offers a wide variety of different experiences to test all standards of surfers.  Scarborough's North and South Bays offer the most accessible surfing beaches while Cayton bay to the South of Scarborough is highly regarded by the local surfing fraternity.  The northern end of the County's coastline, including Whitby and beyond offers some of the most challenging surfing for the more dedicated enthusiasts particularly in the winter months.

Have a go
The best time for beginners to intermediate surfers is autumn when the waves are more consistent, the sea is not yet too cold and the beaches are less crowded than in summer.  More adventurous and experienced surfers might prefer the winter months when the waves are likely to be at their biggest.
