About this beach
Runswick Bay Beach is a rural beach situated on the north Yorkshire coast. It lies within a sheltered sandy bay. The small village of Runswick Bay sits above the beach at the northern end of the bay and steep clay cliffs run to the south. At low tide, a large area of the beach is exposed, and the water's edge can be some distance away
