Whitby Sands beach is a sandy beach with some rocks situated to the west of the town and the beach is also known as West Cliff Beach.

The River Esk splits through Whitby and a unique swing bridge connects the West and East sides of the town. On the east, you have Tate Hill Beach, a small sandy beach below the Abbey and this is protected by the outer harbour walls.

Dogs are prohibited on West Beach between May 1st and September 30th but are allowed on the small Tate Hill Beach all year round.

To the East, you’ve some specialist shopping, cafe, pubs and the Cook Museum. To reach the abbey the only way up is via the 199 steps (Caedmon’s Trod). The West of the town has Theatre, cinema, Whitby Sands beach, Whitby Museum, Lifeboat Museum, parks, a boating lake and mini-golf and high on the cliff is the Captain Cook Monument and Whitby whale bones.

You will not be short of facilities, including car-parks, toilets, cafes/restaurants/pubs and beach huts.
