Filey, nestled in North Yorkshire, is a seaside town that transports you back to simpler times. Its Edwardian charm, cosy pubs, unique shops, and weekly farmers’ market create an atmosphere where time seems to stand still.
The town boasts a vast, breathtaking bay of orange sand that extends for miles, offering the perfect setting for a tranquil walk. The combination of sand, sea, and fresh air encourages visitors to pause and appreciate their surroundings.
After soaking up the view, make your way to the beachside slipway at Coble Landing for some of the finest fish and chips in the area. For the adventurous, Filey Brigg, a fossil-rich promontory extending into the sea, is a must-visit.

Capturing Filey’s unique charm, one TripAdvisor reviewer said: “If you like amusements, rides, loud music etc. then go to Scarborough! If however you like your seaside towns just like they were when you were a kid years and years ago then Filey is the place for you!”
Another beach lover shared: “This is a lovely long beautiful beach. It was mild and sunny when we walked along the beach from the resort that we were staying at to the centre of Filey. We had lots of fun finding stones and shells and lobster tails and exploring the ruins and shelters.”
One reviewer had nothing but praise for the town, writing: “Filey as a seaside town is infinitely more classy than about 90% of all other UK seaside towns, and so it is little wonder that Filey Beach is one of the nicest in the country.
“Bookended by Filey Brigg on one side.”
