The beach has soft golden sand, and children enjoy playing at the river mouth, paddling amongst the ducks. There are a couple of cafes beside the beach, where you can watch the waves, a traditional pub with a beer garden as well as an award-winning restaurant.
The Cleveland Way walking trail runs through Sandsend connecting you with the coastal destinations of Staithes, Runswick Bay and Saltburn to the north, and Whitby, Robin Hoods Bay and Scarborough to the south. All fabulous for days out. Inland is the vast North York Moors National Park to enjoy.

Overall we had a great time. Could do with a couple of things doing like larger beds and dishwasher tablets as there was only one. Plus some steak knives.

Rose Cottage is a lovely cosy cottage, in a lovely location with great views to the sea. Parking is a bonus in Sandsend and there is a great pub and Fish Cottage provides lovely fish and chips. Easy access to Whitby and surrounding areas, lovely walks from the cottage on the beach and the Cleveland Way. Highly recommended
