Sightseeing

Robin Hoods Bay lies within the North York Moors National Park, giving you beautiful views in every direction. The old fishing village tumbles down to the sea in a jumble of cottages and narrow lanes that haven’t changed much since smuggling days in the 18th and 19th centuries.

The Bay’s main beach is perfect for fossil hunting at low tide. Bring a small hammer and see what prehistoric treasures you might find. The village museum tells exciting tales of smugglers who once used the network of tunnels and passages between houses!

The panoramic clifftop views are worth every step of the climb. On clear days, you can see for miles across the North Sea.

Pet Friendly

Dogs love Robin Hoods Bay almost as much as we do. Most beaches allow dogs year-round, unlike many UK coastal spots which have summer restrictions.

Many self-catering lodges have handy secure gardens and even special welcome packs for dogs! The Laurel Inn and The Bay Hotel both allow dogs inside, so you can enjoy a pint without leaving your pet behind.

The coastal path offers spectacular walking routes. The 7-mile stretch to Whitby is particularly popular and your dog will love every minute.

Robin Hoods Bay FAQs

Is parking available in Robin Hoods Bay?
Parking is limited in the village itself. Use the large car park at the top of the hill and walk down. Trust me, you don’t want to drive down those narrow streets unless you enjoy three-point turns in spaces barely wider than your car!

When is the best time to visit?
Spring and autumn offer the perfect balance of decent weather and fewer crowds. Summer holidays bring lots of visitors. Winter has its own wild beauty and your hot tub at your lodge will feel even more luxurious.

Can you swim at Robin Hoods Bay?
Yes, but there’s no lifeguard service. The water can be cold and currents can be strong. Check tide times before heading out – the beach almost disappears at high tide.

Are there good places to eat?
For a small place, the food options are excellent. The Wayfarer Bistro serves great seafood. Fish and chips from Fish Box are spot on. The Bay Hotel does proper pub grub.

How far is it from Whitby?
About 5 miles or a 10-minute drive. You can also walk there along the Cleveland Way (about 7 miles) or catch the regular bus service.

Is Robin Hoods Bay accessible for people with mobility issues?
The steep hill and cobbled streets make it challenging. Some cabins and lodges near the top of the village offer better access. Always check with accommodation providers about specific accessibility features.

What’s the best way to find fossils?
Visit at low tide and look in areas where the cliff has recently eroded. After storms is particularly good. Look for ammonites and belemnites in the shale. The Old Coastguard Station can give you tips.
