A picturesque sand and shingle beach offering rock pooling, fossil hunting, and coastal walks. A German Heinkel bomber was downed off the coast in October 1939. Its surviving crew landed a rubber dinghy at Sandsend, making them the first German prisoners captured on English soil. The beach was later mined and fortified with barbed wire.
Accessible by car via the A171/Sandsend Road, featuring roadside parking and a formal northern lot. Pedestrians can use steps or the accessible slipway at the north end, or walk the 3-mile trail from Whitby at low tide.
