Jul 17, 2021 · Below are the 10 best beaches near Leeds, and how long it will take you to get to them. Bridlington This traditional seaside destination is a bit rundown but its wide and sandy South Beach still has plenty of appeal.
- Sandsend. Neighbouring Yorkshire beaches at Whitby and Runswick Bay might be more famous, but the quiet Sandsend has plenty offer. It’s a lovely, long stretch of golden sand offering views in the east towards Whitby Abbey, a chance to see the two rivers that flow into the sea at the end of the beach and coastal pathways that offer a lovely beach walk into Whitby.
- Cayton Bay. Looking for a peaceful hidden beach in Yorkshire that has a few stories to tell? Head to Cayton Bay. This is a picturesque spot with a long, sweeping beach that is still home to a series of World War Two pillboxes that remain on the north end.
- Hunmanby Gap. Filey’s an ever-popular seaside destination, but just south, you’ll find Hunmanby Gap. This expanse of bright yellow sand is usually quiet and surprisingly rule-free, so you can let the dogs stretch their legs and even enjoy a barbecue in the sunshine – just take your rubbish home with you!
- North Landing. North Landing is one of the most beautiful natural landmarks in Yorkshire. You can wander the coastline to reach this natural cove with its own small expanse of sand, white pebbles and small rock pools.
- Bridlington. The squall of seagulls, the gannets roosting on the rocks – the sheer number of seabirds is one of the first things you’ll notice about Bridlington, less than two hours from Leeds.
- Sandsend. A wonderful contrast to some of the busier Yorkshire resorts, Sandsend is one of the most romantic seaside towns near Leeds. Ideal for a trip away or an escape far from the maddening crowd, it’s just north of the lively Whitby.
- Staithes. Occupying a particularly rugged yet beautiful portion of the coast near Leeds, Staithes is like something out of an old sea shanty or story. A narrow road lined with shops, pubs and houses curls down towards the water in a place that has made its living off the sea.
- Scarborough. When it comes to the Yorkshire seaside, Scarborough has it all. Two beaches, ice cream shops, arcades, history, shops and pubs galore – hence it’s the spiritual home of the seaside break.
