We asked you what your favourite beaches are in Yorkshire to visit - here are your suggestions.

Yorkshire has a beach for every family, whether it’s a vibrant one like Whitby or Scarborough with the hustle and bustle of the town filled with restaurants, cafes, shops to get busy with, or a secluded quiet one like Filey beach for those looking to get away from their day to day routine.

Many are also suitable for bleaker weather conditions where you can quickly pop into a cafe or restaurant to escape the rain or wind, there are also plenty of dog friendly beaches for those families with pets.
