Cayton Bay

Edit Spot
About

Excellent spot!

Atmosphere:
Atmosphere is great when a few of you go. Beach is very authentic with some 2nd world war bunkers on! definatly worth a visit!

Additional Info:
Make sure that you park your car along the right road or you'll get a ticket! Try to get as far out to the waves as you can ( its v. hard when they are big ). Great for Bodyboarders (like myself but just as good for all you surfers!) Visit 'The Secret Spot Surf Shop' on Somerset Terrace ( of valley road ) for the best tide times and get some cool stuff!

Cayton Bay Surf Shop has now been taken over by secret spot. So it may be worth a quick look. It has less range but the people there are friendly and if you just wanna grab some wax or get a mars bar before you go in try here. They also have the same tide times (watch out tho! currently the tide tables show whitby times - caytons +24mins from these times and scarboroughs +25)

Access

Go through and past Scarborough on Filey Road and park up at Cayton traffic lights. Walk down the footpath which goes past the holiday caravans and you are at the beach!

There also is a pay carpark at the cayton bay surf shop £2 all day before 4pm, £1 all day after 4pm. For this head through the traffic lights heading away from scarborough and its a left a little further down. Theres showers and changing rooms at the shop so for people who are pretty lazy and like somewhere to shower and get changed before going home its worth the cash.
