Welcome to Whitby in North Yorkshire, England. This seaside town is famous for it's town, Whitby Abbey and Dracula, but what is the town and seafront like? Is there a Whitby Beach? We find out.
Also watch our tour of Scarborough beach • SCARBOROUGH | Full tour of Scarboroug...
We visit Whitby for a wander along the seafront, harbour and beach, with a walk through Whitby Town Centre too to have a look at the things to see and places to go in Whitby when you're on your seaside holiday here.
People come from all the world to visit Whitby UK. With it's picturesque harbour, and it's steep steps leading up to the Abbey and of course the beautiful beaches, piers and historic streets, it's easy to recommend a holiday in Whitby England.
We start at the railway station and head down New Quay Road passing the famous Trenchers Fish and Chips restaurant. There's a huge debate as to what is the best fish and chips in Whitby. It seems to be a close tie between Trenchers and The Magpie Fish and Chips Restaurant although we'd also add Fishermans Wife into the mix
From Trenchers we can see The Endeavour Experience ship docked in the harbour. Well worth a visit on your day trip or Whitby Holiday.
Coming round New Quay Road we can see all the various boat trips that travel from here out to sea and back with amazing views of Whitby and the North Yorkshire Coast. The boat trips here include Yorkshire Coast Boat Trips, Whitby's Old LIfeboat Trips and the Black Pearl Pirate Boat Trips.
You can also head out to sea on a fishing trip courtesy of LibbyFishing or TillyMae Whitby Fishing Trips.
Further along we come to the star of the show in the harbour, Whitby Bridge. The bridge crosses the River Esk and lifts and opens for ships to pass underneath.
We then head into the streets of Whitby Town along Sandgate, Bridge Street and Church Street and pop into Abbey Wharf in the shadow of Whitby Abbey that looms down from the top of the 199 steps (that I didn't attempt on this trip!)
Many people mistake The Church Of St Mary (or St Mary's Church) with Whitby Abbey when they look up the cliffside. It's actually mostly the church you can see from the town and harbour with the Abbey tucked away behind it.
Coming back along the seafront we head along St Anne's Staith and Haggersgate where we see The Dracula Experience, a spooky guided walk through the world of Dracula which is heavily linked to the town courtesy of Bram Stoker's novel.
Our Whitby Tour then continues along Pier Road, past Quayside and Harrys Lounge and past the famous Magpie Cafe fish and chips restaurant.
Above us us the Khyber Pass and the Whalebone Arch replica of a whales jaw bone that stands next to the Captain Cook Memorial outside the Royal Hotel.
Whitby Bandstand looks out to the River Esk and out to sea and close by are some of the amazing artwork and statues that have been installed recently that I really love.
No Whitby Holiday can be complete without a walk past the Gun Battery and Fisherman's Wife and down onto Whitby Beach for a walk along the sandy beach or a paddle in the sea. Here you will find lighthouses and donkeys for donkey rides as well as the waves of the sea lapping onto the beach.
You can also see Sandsend from here up the North Yorkshire Coast if you look hard enough.
But we wanted to finish this Whitby Walking Tour in style with an amazing view of the town from the pier so we make the journey along West Pier (With East Pier opposite) and along to one of the two lighthouses before ending our seaside tour right out to sea on the underside of the pier, watching the boats come sailing by on the sea.
The views from here at fantastic with views of Whitby Harbour, the town, the abbey, the 199 steps and more.
For your next holiday or day trip I fully recommend to come and visit Whitby England.
