Sandsend Beach, near Whitby

Ben | Jan 23, 2010 | Comments 0

Just a short hop up the coast, Sandsend is a popular alternative to the beach at Whitby, particularly with fossil hunters. The beach varies along its length, changing from sand nearer Whitby to a pebble strewn beach closer to Sandsend itself. A small beck runs onto the beach providing a safe paddling area for young families.

The picturesque village of Sandsend doesn't have a great deal of parking within its confines, but the coastal road has been marked with parking spaces near to several flights of steps leading directly to the beach making access easy. The beach can also be accessed from Whitby Sands if you enjoy a brisk walk. There are public toilets near to the beach.
