Choice Guide to Yorkshire's Coast

By Charles Patmore

This 2025 guidebook guides you round an enjoyable mix of varied attractions along Yorkshire's long coast. All information derives from eye-witness visits by the York-based author who has also written the established, well-reviewed guidebook Choice Guide to York.Enjoy long golden sandy beaches and walks, short or medium, along spectacular cliff-top paths above awesome rock formations and grand North Sea vistas.Take boat-trips to spot seals, dolphins, puffins and even occasionally migrating whales.Explore story-book sea-caves on Flamborough Headland or hunt for fossils on the seashore - including the amazing dinosaur footprints on Burniston Beach.Visit three eye-catching, maze-like, old fishing villages, each with a different atmosphere of its own.See the zany miniature naval battles staged summer-long on a Scarborough park pond.Get close-up views of seabird life, including the spectacular seabird sanctuary on Bempton Cliffs.A museum of 1001 curiosities, a museum of old funfair rides which you can try for yourself, museums of smuggling and shipwreck and of the old fisherman's way of life.Old-fashioned seaside pleasures like donkey-rides, funicular cliff railways, pretty esplanade gardens or a working funfair water-ride so old that it's now a Listed Building.And plenty more - small zoos and an aquarium, castle and lighthouse tours, stately homes and gardens - all richly illustrated by 155 colour photos and 13 maps.

The book covers the full length of the Yorkshire Coast - from Staithes in the north to Spurn Point at its southern end. It guides you round both sizeable resorts like Scarborough, Filey and Whitby and quiet countryside coves and uncrowded rural beaches. With rainy days in mind, it includes some attractions just inland from the coast.

Very many destinations in this book can be visited by public transport - guidance on public transport is included. All destinations suit day-trips from York, Leeds or Hull.

Please note that the book does not include a comprehensive guide to holiday accommodation or eating places.
