Is This YORKSHIRE Beach The Best In England?

[@caramg1988]

I live 5 minutes from Saltburn, it's such an amazing place, though I do avoid it in the summer holidays when it's really busy. The chippy by the pier is the best one outside of whitby, it has a restaurant upstairs with the most unbelievable sea views. The cafe camfields by the car park you were parked in has the best ice creams, and the valley gardens are really beautiful. I spent my childhood winkling along the coast every weekend with my dad, the rock pools at the bottom of huntcliff on Saltburn beach are brilliant. Skinningrove beach is beautiful, one of our best is Runswick bay - heaven

[@elliegreen4738]

Skiningrove beach is the most beautiful beach I've ever seen and unbelievably secluded and quiet. Stunning North Yorkshire coast, this is a country worth fighting for, like Ireland.

[@bythecurb]

Absolutely

[@peterreed3104]

Can't argue that Fact 👍😂

[@jimchatterton6836]

Bloody Hell!..I nearly got the bus to Redcar today to have a walk along beach to Saltburn!..I would have shouted "Gizza chip greedy Bastard!" If I'd seen you?!😀..I used to live in Marske and have walked that beach hundreds of times..it's a lovely day out walking coastal path from Saltburn to Whitby and getting bus back or making a night of it in Whitby!...if you had in Saltburn till 4 you would have seen the Red Arrows flying by?

[@fidgetspinner343]

You just can't beat September and October, beautiful hazy sun with a bit of that early "almost Autumn" crisp. Lovely

Saltburn around by the pier is a little hidden gem, almost a place lost in time.

Well done, brilliant discoveries James, I'm visiting Saltburn by the Sea as soon as possible after watching that. Thanks for a great video review once again 😊👍

Thank you, glad you enjoyed it

Give me a beach in the UK any day of the week. We have so many little gems, that fortunately have not been commercialised. 👍

[@Albert_206]

It always strikes me a little that as the crows fly, one just knows so little about England in this case. Even in a tiny country as Holland is, I sometimes drive just to nowhere thinking wow this is a beautiful area.

[@sandimoo]

We love Saltburn. We moved from Halifax West Yorkshire to near Thirsk 3 years ago, and Saltburn is only a 45 min drive now. We just love it!

[@paulinesw2514]

You cannot beat our seasides on a beautiful day. Ive been all along that coast from Bamburgh to Bridlington and never heard of Skinningrove beach...its gorgeous ! Staithes is beautiful but if you go out of season, it's empty because they are mostly holiday homes. South Shields and Seaburn (Sunderland) is beautiful. There is a pub on the beach called The Grotto, which is actually built into the cliffside... Can I just add, your camera work is getting better and better x

[@MikeCrazyDayzMikalaneSmithson]

It looks really beautiful. I'm originally from Sheffield and I will always have a soft spot for Yorkshire. I have lived in Norfolk for the past 15 years and have to say it's home to some of the most quietest and beautiful beaches in the UK.

Thrilled that you visited Skimmingrove. I only know of it because of a song on an album called "Wild Connections" featuring Rod Agent, Phil Collins and Gary Moore. Great to see it!!

[@quickclipsbyjmj]

North Bay beach, Bridlington, is by far one of the very best on the Yorkshire coast. Toilets are clean, it has a stop for the land train, the headland is wide and verdant, it's safe for families/children/loan wanderers and has one of the very best fish and chips kiosks anywhere on the coast. It's quite literally 9 steps up from the sandy beach.

[@pagfreeborough2444]

Grew up in Saltburn. Moved down south now, miss it so much. Awesome video

[@ronaldcarlton9957]

Go There Quite often some of my dad's Ashes were put off the Pier & behind the Pub ,He First Took Me Fishing off the Pier .

[@Sidiqi]

I like the almost empty beaches. Ours down South are so crowded, I suppose because they are so popular! Mind you, our beer is more expensive.

[@janepennock6933]

id head straight to good old Scarborough and have a cracking night in the pubs there . plenty of overnight parking and good old tescos in the morning for a wash . lovely seeing some of the smaller villages along the East coast as ive only really visited whitby, scarborough & Brid before . some of those beaches were stunning and could rival a European beach anytime ❤❤❤

[@Helen_kittycat_crafts]

never been to saltburn but it looks beautiful and those fish and chips look amazing.never heard of skinninggrove but it looks amazing,we are so lucky to have so many beautiful places in the uk

[@joline2730]

Helen: If you have a few days, this area is lovely. Saltburn is a delightful Victorian small town (you can walk the whole length in 15 mins or so) the houses on the front are FIVE storeys high, magnificent architecture. There is a music festival every year around 12th August, music and dancing in the street. The lift to the pier is (or was) 50p each way (I walk down and ride up!). Then further down the coast are the other two Skinninggrove and Staithes which are a lot smaller, not much at either except the sea 🌊⛱ Robin Hoods Bay is also a great visit 👍👍👍💯🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

Nice views from the funicular tramway over the coast. Looks like a beautiful place to visit.

Saltburn is beautiful. Skinningrove is one if the most special places i have ever been. The locals are very parochial...and scared that some developers might build hotels and spoil it. It needs protecting. In my loo i have a quote from folk singer Vin Garbutt... "London?...its ok, but it's not Skinningrove"......watch "the North" by Michael Lazenby....great little film.

[@VanAllaN52]

It was good to see you up my neck of the woods . The beach next to Skiningrove is called Cattersty Beach and yes you can park up at the Skiningrove car park . On your way out of Skiningrove there is a pub called The Kaskayn that sells fantastic food , if you ever decide to eat there next time you visit make sure your hungry the portions are huge . I'm in Galloway at the moment , did you carry on up North because im sure l you passed me by near Clateringshaws Loch . BTW The Cat Nab is good but you should've gone to The Sea View 10/10 . Best Solo Vid Yet ! But l might be a bit biased 😉🤙

[@eddieparkin3685]

These parts of coastline from Redcar to whitby are all well known to teesiders and taken for granted, but its grim up north remember 😉 try the end of Saltburn pier on a frosty clear night in December watching the northern lights? I admire your van life , and enjoy your videos, all the best.

[@bythecurb]

Thank you, that sounds wonderful

[@RandomDude-l5f]

Skinningrove beach is called "cattersty sands" just around that headland to the south, maybe 2 miles from saltburn, you can walk around on the ebb tide. That pier used to be twice as long, used to fish on it as a kid, got damaged in a storm and the council demolished the damaged half. lovely little town.

[@Freckleonacruiser]

My partner and I discovered your channel recently. We absolutely love your videos, makes me want to sell the house, buy a van and travel!

Looks like a lovely little spot, but reading some of the comments, I looked hard at shots of the sea water and it did honestly look murky. So if sewage is being released there it’s criminal.

@WetLettuce-kc2qm No, it was short & to the point and a bit tongue in cheek. I made a simple comment about the sea looking murky - and this after reading others comments. If somebody then wishes to expand on that ( at length ) that’s up to them. I mentioned nothing about the Atlantic or the Med. or intense pollution.

[@Amiguru]

Fabulous James - I've been to Ravenscar, Robin Hood's Bay and Whitby many moons ago but I'm really impressed with the places you've been on this trip. They remind me of the place I was born during the war - Morfa Nefyn on the Lleyn peninsula - Mountains, cliffs, clear green sea, puffins nesting in the cliffs and beautiful beaches. Furthermore, there is a pub on the beach - 'Ty Goch' superb beer and a lovely meal too ! I was last there in 2005 and had an unplanned meet-up with a work colleague from here in Essex. Blow me, when we got back to work our Deputy Head had visited the said pub too, unbeknown to us and during the same week!!! Well recommended should you venture out of your beloved Yorkshire. 😎🍺

I was just on my way to bed then saw this , I live in Saltburn , it s a very special place and we get loads of foreign visitors, in the summer holidays it,s heaving, but people come all year round.I love it, always new faces, always something going on.I saw a comment about the shingle beach, but on the other side of the pier and towards Marske it,s a beautiful sandy beach, a 10 minute walk through woods from my home brings me to the beach just past the beach huts and I,m down there most days with my dog..We have the Valley gardens with children,s play area and miniature railway and Italian gardens and woodland tea rooms and woodland centre where they hold events and santa comes at Christmas! Also gardens and seating areas at the other end if you go up the path left from the beach huts.Not to mention beautiful walks through the woods, and bandstand concerts in the summer.Skinningrove is beautiful too, but I don't have a car so don't get there much.I wondered what that ship was doing, it was out there for a while, so now I know, thank you!
