Cayton Bay, A Haven for Beach Lovers and Surfers

Cayton Bay is a top spot for surfing on the Yorkshire coast for those seeking adventure. With consistently good waves, it is a cosy coastal escape for both beginners and experienced surfers alike.
The local surf school offers lessons and equipment hire. So, making it easy for anyone to get out on the water to enjoy the waves. Paddleboarding and kayaking are also popular, thus offers another sea activity to take in the breathtaking coastal scenery.

Birdwatchers will be in their element, as the surrounding cliffs and grasslands are home to various seabirds. For example, you may encounter puffins, kittiwakes, and gannets. Keep your eyes peeled for seals basking on the rocks below, and perhaps even dolphins playing in the waves.
