During the recent heatwave in Yorkshire and the current high temperatures, people are eager to escape to somewhere with sand, sea and endless amenities.
With the occasional thunderstorm expected to hit some parts of the Yorkshire coast, Whitby, Filey, Scarborough, Sandsend, Bridlington and Saltburn will see temperatures of 20-24C in the early days of this week.
These areas also conveniently have the highest rated beaches according to TripAdvisor.
