Sandsend
Sandsend is an attractive seaside village near
Whitby on the Yorkshire Coast. Located in the North York Moors National Park, it commands some wonderful coastal views and has a fine sandy beach.
The Alum Industry thrived in these parts during the 17th century and played an important role in Sandsend's development. It also had a significant effect on the
Yorkshire Coast, altering its shape and geological make-up forever. All that remains near the town is a quarrying site and a disused railway which runs along the seafront.
Sandsend Beach is a popular feature of the town and was recently awarded the
ENCAMS seaside award. It's well-suited to children with a collection of rock-pools and hidden caves located near the surrounding cliffs. Sandsend town itself consists of a selection of cottages, cafes, pubs and a fine restaurant. It is well-connected with other towns and has regular bus route that travels to Whitby and Runswick Bay.
