Sandsend is good, also try Staithes a bit further up the coast through sandsend (but don't tell anyone-its a secret because its our favourate place in the world!)

A hidden gem in Whitby if you haven't found it is also "La Rosa" hotel, it has a tea room which anyone can go into, you dont have to be staying there, really quirky and another of our secrets! It's on the side of town opposite to the abbey, find the whalebone arch and walk down the street towards town, at the top of the hill, and it is on the left hand side overlooking the town (basically right opposite the abbey). Its run by a group of lovely people and Lewis Carroll used to stay there apparently. China teacups and amazing homemade cakes.

They also run an amazing looking campsite but we have never been lucky enough to get in-it books up so quickly. No, I don't work for them, just a fan !!

Have a brilliant time xx

love the sound of La Rosa's hamper in bed for breakfast.

What about Robin Hoods Bay for rock pooling? We went rock pooling on Filey Brigg a couple of years ago. We found all sorts.

Sat in our cottage (rented) on the high street Staithes as I write

Quess what, it's raining.

Another vote for Robin Hood's Bay.  Two other good reasons to go there - Hook's House Caravan Site (my favourite view in the world so far, and the nicest owners you could wish to meet) and the best fish and chips in the world from Mariondale (down at the bottom of Bay - go up the little side road next to the sweet shop opposite the pub), 

I live near to Whitby and the Bay fish and chips are better than the over-hyped Magpie one.

RAF35Y-we'll be there in a couple of weeks too  I don't care if it rains, in fact we go a lot in the winter, open fires, no phone signal, complete peace! I love how you walk down the hill, hit the cobbled bit, and you can smell coal fires and know you're cut off from the world a little bit!

I can recommened La Rosa's breakfast too x
