Sandsend Beach is a rural beach situated on the Yorkshire coast, approximately one kilometre in length with a gentle slope. At low tide, a large area of the beach is exposed, and the water's edge can be some distance away. The beach is backed by small tourist establishments on the seafront and extensive woodlands in the catchment.
The tiny, picturesque village of Sandsend lies on Yorkshire's heritage coastline, between Runswick Bay and Whitby. The clean, sandy beach here, with small rivers running into the sea on either side, is very appealing and makes an excellent destination for a family day out. At low tide, a large area of beach is exposed, and there are plenty of rockpools for children to explore. Tide times can be found on the side of the shop next door to the Sandsend Café.
Sandsend beach is popular with fossil hunters, fishermen, and walkers. In summer, an area of the beach is zoned off for swimming. A café, gift shop, and pub can be found close to the beach. The beach also offers fine views down the coast towards the romantic ruins of Whitby Abbey, said to be the inspiration for Bram Stoker's Dracula. It is possible to walk all the way along the beach to Whitby, which may take up to one and a half hours, depending on how often you stop to admire the views or play in the waves.
Sandsend Beach is on the North Yorkshire & Cleveland Heritage Coast.
