Excellent "eat in" restaurant on the East Side adjoining the Mister Chips takeaway, where as well as the usual battered fish and chips, you can order your fish pan fried/grilled and with wonderful fresh vegetables including Samphire. There is also a fancy 'specials' menu and a short but good wine list. Highly recommended.

Excellent coffee shop/tea rooms above the bakery. Unchanged since the premises were founded towards the end of the 19th century. Huge range of coffee and tea. Nice view from the tea rooms of Skinner Street and of course you can buy baked goods from the shop to bring home.

Unique little coffee shop, made from the old ticket office for the Pavilion Theatre, which prior to that was a wind shelter, overlooking the sea. Has recently expanded the outdoor seating area. Idyllic setting. nb no indoor seating, cash only.

Also known as the Spa Pavilion Complex, the theatre itself was built in 1878. Together with the adjoining modern complex this is the nerve centre for most of the many festivals that take place in Whitby. Musicport, Goth weekend, Folk Week and many more. In a glorious setting on the West Cliff overlooking the sea.

Parks & Nature

Lovely park with a great view of the town. On a nice day, this is a wonderful place for a picnic, or just to while away an hour or so, with lots of 'hidden' areas to sit in. This is also where the museum is situated and has a great playground too.

Very nice walk from Whitby to Sandsend (approx 1 hour) along the beach at low tide. We enjoy doing this mid morning and having breakfast/lunch at the Sandside Cafe.
