Robin Hoods Bay beach is a large beach in a small fishing hamlet situated on the Yorkshire Heritage Coast just south of Whitby, the bay is located on a steep hill and marks one end of the coast-to-coast walk.
This beach is a great family location, with the beach being shingles with many rock pools and is also large enough to cope with the summer crowds.
Dogs are allowed on the beach at Robin Hoods Bay all year.
The Coastal walk between Whitby and Robin Hoods Bay is one of the best parts of the Cleveland Way National Trail, and you can imagine why in the 18th Century, the bay was reported to be one of the busiest smuggling communities on the Yorkshire coast.
Facilities at the beach include toilets, pubs, car park (although at the top of a steep hill), restaurants, shops, slipway and the Old Coastguard Station is one of the North Yorkshire Moors National Park Centres, exhibition and tourist information all at one location.
