Start the day in the harbour town of Whitby, steeped in history and famous for its fresh fish & chips. Whitby boasts two excellent beaches that offer the best of both worlds – West Cliff is long and sandy and Tate Hill Beach is small and secluded. There's a choice of lengthy piers to wander along and a bustling harbour to watch the boats go by. Uncover the town's links to Cook and his extraordinary seamanship stories at the Captain Cook Museum or dare to enter The Dracula Experience on the seafront! For those of you feeling energetic it’s worth climbing the famous 199 steps up to Whitby Abbey (EH) to explore the noble ruins that overlook the town whilst enjoying impressive views out to sea.

Continue to the picturesque fishing village of Robin Hood’s Bay with its cobbled streets and twisty alleyways - perfect for the smugglers and sailors to hide their loot many years ago! Today the vibrant village hosts a great choice of cafés, pubs and boutique shops. The sandy beach is backed by steep cliffs and fronted by rock pools where you might be lucky enough to spot an ancient fossil.

The coach is due to arrive in Whitby at 12:30 (setting down near the Co-op Store on Langbourne Road), at 15:00 we’ll set off for Robin Hood’s Bay arriving at 15:20 (setting down at Station Yard Coach Park), the coach will depart for home at 17:30. There will be a short services comfort stop on the outward and return journeys. Please note that both resorts are quite hilly with many steps around the towns. Entry fees may apply and pre-booking may be required at the suggested attractions, please check with the venues before departure.
