Where you should stay in Whitby
-
Is Whitby a good base for a family caravan holiday? The answer to that is a definite yes, as there’s just so much to do, from splashing around on Whitby Sands beach to zooming down zipwires at Go Ape in Dalby Forest. Whitby also has a cinema and there’s an indoor pool at Scarborough Sports Village in case of any rainy days.
-
Looking forward to exercising the dog on the Cleveland Way or on moorland hikes across the North York Moors National Park? Or how about basing yourself near year-round canine-friendly beaches like Runswick Bay? All you need to do is find a caravan site that welcomes dogs and you’re all set to travel.

If you’re looking for a solitary stay or are keen for a cosy, loved-up couples’ break, you’re wise to use our filters to find adults-only sites around Whitby – it's a pretty fine place for a romantic break with its gorgeous beach walks, atmospheric abbey and cosy seafront pubs. Further afield, how about souvenir hunting in cute little Malton, or discovering the romantic Victorian charms of Saltburn-by-the-Sea?

Fancy a break out of season? Your caravan will keep you snug and warm, and there are plenty of things to keep you busy on winter breaks. For example, the Captain Cook Memorial Museum stays open all year, as do all the tempting fish and chip shops around the harbour. For somewhere to stay, simply check to see which Whitby caravan sites are open all year.
- If you're not wedded to staying in town, escape the crowds by staying on a Whitby farm, or one with moorland views around nearby Pickering or Goathland – home to Harry Potter’s Hogsmeade Station.
What you can do in Whitby
-
Climb up the 199 stone steps to the ruins of Whitby Abbey, source of many a Dracula-related tale, or book a spooky Dracula-inspired nighttime walk complete with special ghostly effects.
-
Hike or cycle the Cinder Track south from Whitby to Scarborough, dropping down into pretty Robin Hood’s Bay for a welcome pint or finding the waterfall and rocky cove at Hayburn Wyke on your way.
-
Acquaint yourself with local marine life on a cruise from Whitby harbour; you’ll be treated to glorious coastal views all year around, and there's also the possibility of spotting whales or dolphins in late summer.
-
Search for fossils on local beaches: Staithes is the spot for finding pieces of black Whitby jet, and you’ll often find ammonites around rock pools at remote Kettleness Bay.
