About this beach
Sandsend Beach is a rural beach situated on the north Yorkshire coast. It is approximately one kilometre 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 concrete defences and there are residential properties and a limited number of food outlets on the seafront.
