Things to do

Discover the timeless beauty of Filey Beach, one of Yorkshire’s most picturesque seaside destinations. Stretching for miles along the Yorkshire coast, its wide golden sands provide the perfect setting for relaxing, walking, building sandcastles and enjoying the fresh sea air. 

Filey Brigg is a spectacular rocky headland at the northern end of Filey Beach, offering some of the most impressive coastal scenery in North Yorkshire. It is a wonderful place to explore, with rugged cliffs, rock pools, sea views and plenty of opportunities to spot local wildlife. 

Discover the stunning Yorkshire coastline at Flamborough Head, just a short drive from Filey. Explore dramatic chalk cliffs, beautiful coastal walks and the iconic lighthouse, with spectacular sea views and plenty of opportunities to spot seabirds and wildlife. 

Filey Bird Garden & Animal Park is a lovely family-friendly attraction just outside Filey. Visitors can see a variety of birds, mammals and other animals, with plenty to keep children entertained. There are walk-through areas, animal encounters and outdoor spaces, making it a great choice for a family day out — particularly if you have younger children. 

Just a short drive from Filey, RSPB Bempton Cliffs is a spectacular place to experience Yorkshire’s coastline and wildlife. Walk along the dramatic chalk cliffs and enjoy breathtaking sea views while spotting thousands of seabirds, including gannets, puffins and guillemots. A fantastic day out for nature lovers, families and photographers. 

Explore two of Yorkshire’s much-loved seaside resorts, both just a short drive from Filey. Scarborough offers beautiful beaches, a historic castle, harbour, traditional amusements and plenty of places to eat. Bridlington is perfect for a classic seaside day out, with sandy beaches, a bustling harbour, shops, cafés and family-friendly attractions. Both are great options for a fun-filled day by the coast.
