About this beach

Filey Beach is an extensive sandy resort beach on the north Yorkshire coast. The designated bathing water area is 850 metres in length with a gentle slope. At low tide a large area of the beach is exposed and the water's edge can be some distance away. The beach is backed by the town of Filey and to the north lies the rocky peninsula of Filey Brigg.
