Runswick Sands Beach

Explore / United Kingdom / North Yorkshire

Runswick Sands is a sheltered, sandy, dog-friendly beach with rock pools on either side of the bay, although you have no beach at high tide.

Runswick Bay is a great beachcombing location. You may find ammonites, dinosaur footprints, polished semi-precious stones, and shark eggs within many Jurassic rocks and rock pools.

The beach is in front of a charming village built into the steep hillside, which includes a sailing club and several pleasure and fishing boats. The bay also has the Runswick Bay Rescue Boat (RBRB).

Facilities include a pay and display car park, toilets, cafe, shop, pub and slipway.

If you want more information on the area visit our local Whitby Destination page or our regional North Yorkshire Destination page.
