Member-only story
Everyone knows the rolling Dales of West Yorkshire, the grand cities of Sheffield and Leeds, or the rugged moors of the north. But beyond the green lands of ‘God’s Own County’ is the world-famous coastline stretching from the Tees estuary to the Humber estuary. There are some amazing dog friendly beaches in Yorkshire.
The coastline encompasses three nationally designated Heritage Coasts, renowned for their “exceptional or very good scenic quality”. As such, no visit to the region is complete without visiting the glorious white sandy beaches which dot the rugged coast of rocky cliffs and charming hills. After a long walk with your dog, you can also settle down for the best fish and chips in the country, and with a view across the North Sea that’ll leave you speechless (if a little chilly).
To help you decide where to head to, we’ve selected our favourite dog-friendly beaches in Yorkshire. Enjoy!
Cayton Bay
Scarborough’s two beaches might be a firm favourite with tourists, but little Cayton Bay located three miles south of the town is our favourite hidden gem. The beautiful sandy beach is framed by the looming cliffs whose towering presence stretches out into the sea. The beach has loads of rock pools for your inquisitive canine to explore, though be careful a crab doesn’t take a shine to your pooch’s…
