An absolute must would be a visit to the RSPB reserve at Bempton to see puffins and other wildlife in their natural habitat. There are self-guided trails as well as organised events and activities for all ages. Head to the seaside town of Filey, with its beautiful golden sands that stretch for 5 miles and plenty of rock pools to explore.
Another seaside town that's within easy reach is the popular seaside resort of Scarborough. Visit the 12th century Scarborough Castle, take the Victorian Central Tramway from the town centre to the harbour, marvel at the Peasholm Park Japanese gardens behind North Bay or just simply enjoy the sandy beach!
For the more adventurous, check out Bay Watersports where you can discover the North Yorkshire coastline and try you hand at coasteering, paddleboarding, kayaking and sailing.
