Latest reviews on Selby's beaches

Barmston Beach
10 Anna Burrows

This beach is absolutely beautiful, but it's worth noting that there is no wheelchair or pushchair access. To reach the beach, you have to walk through fields or the caravan park. Additionally, there are no toilets or food places unless you have access to the caravan park.

Mappleton beach
10 Jurgis Kavaliauskas

This serene beach is ideal for those seeking a more secluded and tranquil spot away from the typical tourist crowds. It's a paradise for dog owners, picnic enthusiasts, and adventure seekers alike, with ample opportunities for sandcastle building and exploration. However, the car park can get quite crowded, so it's best to arrive early. A quaint café awaits at the top of the hill, and public restrooms are conveniently located in the car park.

Fraisthorpe beach
10 Evan Hawthorne

This beach is absolutely stunning and peaceful, although it can get crowded on Saturdays and Sundays during the day. However, the rest of the time, you can often enjoy the beach all to yourself, except for a few dog walkers. Personally, I love coming here for wild swimming. Don't forget to visit the calf shed uphill for some delicious snacks and hot beverages.

North Bay beach
10 Santino Rossi.

This serene beach is perfect for dog owners looking for a peaceful getaway. The area offers ample space for your furry companions to run around, as long as you remain considerate of other visitors. Venture to the far end of the beach and you'll discover rock pools and shallow waters, ideal for splashing around with your dog, children or even yourself. Conveniently, parking is available on the promenade above and can be paid for using the JustPark app, so you don't have to worry about carrying cash. Overall, this beach is a fantastic spot to visit with your four-legged friends and a much more pleasant alternative to the chaotic Bridlington beach.

Filey beach
10 Kird D.

This charming town boasts an abundance of shops, bars, and restaurants that cater to all tastes. However, the real highlight is the breathtaking beach, which is both pristine and spacious. It's a dog-friendly haven for most of the year, with certain restrictions during the peak season of May to September. Overall, the beach is a must-visit destination for anyone seeking a serene and enjoyable experience.
