When you are on Whitby YC, you will come across the quaint village of Sandsend.

The sweeping sandy beaches and road are lined with seating making this the perfect destination sop off. This is a short hop from Whitby, where you can see the Pier and Abbey in the distance, and it is an excellent place to escape from the large bustling towns.

This is a fantastic place to capture sunrise and sunsets.

You will see people enjoying sea swimming and walking the dog at sunrise before the cafes reopen, ready to serve delicious handmade treats and local catch of the day.

The Cleveland Way passes through for walkers, so it is a great place to identify as a spot to take the pressure off weary feet before continuing the journey. The bank at the top of Sandsend is steep, so check your towing equipment and brakes on a wet rainy day.
