Picture, if you will, the classic English seaside town. Kiddies building sandcastles on golden beaches. All the fun of the fair on the seashore. Multi-coloured stalls selling shellfish delicasies and fish 'n' chips. Boats bobbing about in the harbour at high tide - resting at crazy angles in the mud when the tide is out. Pubs, crowded with dads enjoying an afternoon pint or three, overlooking the sands. Bed and breakfast signs in every window along the prom. The ever so slightly faded facades of the once posh seafront hotels.

Filey
Twelve miles up the Yorkshire coast and the other side of Flamborough Head you'll find the elegantly genteel town of

It is still popular as an alternative to its brash, extrovert seaside neighbours, Bridlington and Scarborough. With its five miles of safe, sandy beaches ask any of the young family holidaymakers and they'll tell you Filey is a firm favourite - so much so that many of them return year after year.

Whitby
Surely Saint Hilda, who, in the seventh century became the first abbess of Whitby Abbey, could never have imagined that the tiny fishing community clinging to the river bank nearby would grow to become one of the most important sea ports in the whole of England ... more about Whitby
Staithes
Only due to a cleft in the sea cliffs were the early inhabitants of a settlement at the mouth of the Staithes Beck able to maintain a foothold on this spectacular, often wild and unforgiving coast. ... more about Staithes
