Robin Hood’s Bay crowned Yorkshire’s top seaside spot in recent poll. ⚓🌊❤️

This time, Whitby and Scarborough aren’t in the spotlight. Robin Hood’s Bay has been named Yorkshire’s best coastal town in a recent ranking by Holiday Cars.

This charming North Yorkshire village ranked above several popular seaside spots, and it’s clear why.

With its steep cobbled streets, cosy pubs, independent shops, sea views and postcard-worthy cottages, Robin Hood’s Bay is a brilliant place to explore this summer. Wander down to the beach, hunt for fossils and rock pools, enjoy a coastal walk, or simply grab an ice cream and soak up the views.

Located between Whitby and Scarborough, this historic fishing village offers everything you need for a memorable day by the sea: charm, character, history, and plenty of Yorkshire coastal magic.

This small village has a big seaside personality.
