Always bring a jacket, the weather can be very intermittent!

Explore as much of the local area as possible, there are lots of nice quaint coastal villages near by, we also have the North Yorkshire Moors on the door step.

York and Harrogate are close enough for a day trip from the coast, there are lots of different places you can fit in when on holiday on the Yorkshire Coast.
