A great place for a bit splash for the kids and have a picnic
Situated westcliffe Whitby near the crescent and where Bram Stoker stayed. The open air paddling pool overlooks the North sea. The pool reminds me of Art deco with toilets that cost 40p. The pool though is free. There is a Crazy Golf nearby also cafes, and Pisa restaurant.
In the sunshine it is perfect. Only up to their knees but deep enough to splash about and play with friends. Little shop selling floats, balls, water guns etc. Not too expensive and they blow the items up for you. Considering the pool is free it's brilliant. My 2 and their friends had a great hour and would have stayed loads longer but we had plans.
Great little pool for the kids, and it's free. Highly recommended on a nice day..
Covered in rubbish, weeds and a bloody handprint. Absolutely grim, can't believe it isnt maintained properly.
