Take the Cleveland Way south from the abbey car park along the cliff to Saltwick Bay, drop down through the holiday park to the beach if the tide is out, then return by the inland path across the fields to the abbey. Good for a first taste of the coast path.

  • Mostly level with one descent to the beach
  • Beach cut off at high tide
  • Whitby Brewery at the end
