Beaches & coastline

Stretch your legs in deserted dunes, take curious young minds along the Jurassic heritage coastline and take a deep-sea fishing trip.

 

Play smugglers in secluded coves and head to an Edwardian pier for ice cream and traditional entertainment. From Whitby and Scarborough in the north to Brighton and Devon in the south, slip your shoes off and watch the sun dip over the horizon…
