Quiet and unspoiled, Cayton Bay is a beautiful destination worthy of a visit and offers some of the best surfing, especially in winter and springtime, from two key surfing locations. The Point has left handed waves that can hold a big swell and is for experienced surfers only, while the Pump House breaks at mid to low tide with fast moving waves, and will break at high tide over 4ft. The wave is fast due to the shelving nature of the shore, so you need to be able to do a quick take off. Lessons are available in nearby Scarborough at the Fluid Concept Surf Shop and Surf School.

Lovers of salt-water action will be impressed by the variety and quality of sea kayaking off Yorkshire's coast. The section of coast line around Flamborough Head provides some of the most spectacular canoeing on the north-east coast, with vertical chalk cliffs eroded to form natural arches and sea caves, some of which require a torch to be fully explored. Sea kayaking is for experienced canoeists. Tidal streams off Flamborough Head are strong, and rough water can be experienced around the headland during the main tidal flow. If you'd like some sea kayak training, from spring until late autumn, Rock Steady Adventure will be offering kayak experiences from Ruswarp to Whitby on the river Esk. The activity is suitable for groups of adults and families.
