The harbour town of Whitby is famous for its fresh fish & chips and steeped in history. Head to one of the town's many attractions to find out more about its past including The Captain Cook Memorial Museum or The Dracula Experience on the seafront. Whitby has two excellent beaches that offer the best of both worlds – West Cliff is long and sandy and Tate Hill Beach is small and secluded. For those of you feeling energetic it’s worth climbing the famous 199 steps up to Whitby Abbey (EH) to explore the noble ruins that overlook the town whilst enjoying impressive views out to sea. Whitby Regatta is due to take place this week, finishing today with a fun fair, rowing races, birds of prey and parkour - click to see what's on.

In July 2022 Whitby was awarded both a Blue Flag and Seaside Award. Blue Flags are internationally recognised and only presented to well-managed beaches with excellent water quality, Seaside Awards are presented to England's best beaches and celebrate the quality and diversity of our coastline.
