Beware of your fish and chips and even your ice cream, the seagulls here steal your food in one fell swoop ! But this place is relaxing to take a walk and watch the sunset. The wind blows strong so if you're afraid of the cold, do wear additional layers.
Whitby Bandstand stands at the bottom of the west cliff near the harbour, opposite the RNLI museum and shop. People including ๐๐ซ schools congregate here also when Whitby has it's Krampus run it's full of krampuses.
Great corner to sit and enjoy the view. Beware of surrounding seagulls .
