Filey Beach

Filey beach is only 7 miles south of Scarborough and only takes ten minutes or so to get to car. Filey beach is very long and is said to be about five miles.

You can spend hours just walking across Filey beach with its many places to stop off and visit along the way. At one end of Filey beach you have the Filey sailing club. At the other end is the kiddie’s paddling pool.

In-between all this along the top of Filey beach you will pass many cafes and ice cream outlets as well as the small amusement park for the kids to enjoy. They have small rides and a bouncy castle.

Our Filey Beach Photos

In the photo above you can see most of Filey beach looking south towards the Coble Landing and the hotels along the promenade. This photo of Filey beach was taken from the cliff tops of Filey Brigg near the caravan park.

There are many car parking spaces up at the cliff top where it is only a short walk down to Filey beach. Although it’s only a five-minute walk down to Filey beach from the cliff tops some parts are very steep. If you don’t want a steep walk to Filey beach then you should park at Church Ravine or on the Coble landing. There are limited spaces here so you need to get there early before 10am.

Above is another photo taken from the Brigg cliff tops but this time we are facing north down onto Filey beach. Right at the very end of Filey beach at the furthest point north you can see Filey Brigg.

The photo above shows the steep hill that leads down to Filey beach from the Filey Brigg car parks at the cliff top. As you can see you pass the Filey sailing club on your way down to Filey beach.

The photo above shows the view of Filey beach that you get when you reach the bottom of the steep walkway. If you turn around from here and walk south up Filey beach you will see the small cafes and food outlets.

Above is a photo I took of my view while I was sitting on Filey beach watching the sailing. The kids were playing safely on the beach enjoying the sunshine.
