Runswick Bay
A mile of sheltered sand beneath a picture-book village of red-roofed cottages, one of the finest beaches on the coast
Sheltered sandy bay with red-roofed cottages on the cliff

Runswick Bay is a crescent of sand backed by a village that clings to the cliff in a jumble of cottages and terraced gardens. It is one of the best beaches on this stretch of coast for families, sheltered to the south by Kettleness headland.
Walk the beach at low tide to the Hob Holes, small caves said to be home to a hobgoblin who could cure whooping cough.
