5. Filey Beach
The traditional seaside resort of Filey is less commercial than some of its East-Coast neighbours and is an ideal seaside location for young families or anyone looking for a fine stretch of good sand for walks, playing in the sand, kite-flying or even horse riding. Photo: Tony Johnson
6. Bridlington North Beach
An excellent sand and shingle beach with an attractive promenade and great views of the impressive chalk cliffs of Flamborough Headland. Rock pools, a land train and a range of traditional seaside activities make this a popular family beach Photo: Tony Johsnon
7. Robin Hoods Bay
The beach at Robin Hood’s Bay has a powerful, natural beauty, all of its own, making a great destination for amateur photographers. With its backdrop of craggy cliffs and sweeping views round the bay, this is a popular destination for day trippers and dog walkers. Photo: Archives
8. Hornsea Beach
This beach in the East Riding of Yorkshire is mainly shingle and fine golden sand, and offers a classic traditional seaside experience. The beach is either the start or the end of the Trans Pennine Trail, aimed at walkers, horse riders, and cyclists. Photo: Bruce Rollinson
