About this property
Beachfront is a quirky two bedroom apartment in an enviable location on ‘Kyhber Pass’ overlooking Whitby’s West Pier.
From here, guests can enjoy unrivalled panoramas of Whitby’s iconic pier and stunning sea views. Gaze at the boats as they come and go, admire the charming pantiled houses nestled around the harbour and breathe in the wonderfully refreshing sea air. This is the perfect choice for families who long to feel the sand between their toes in minutes!
The open plan sitting room has comfortable red leather seating, a flat screen TV and DVD player, dining table and four chairs and a modern fitted kitchen.
There is a double bedroom with king-size bed, a twin bedroom and a bathroom with bath, walk-in shower, basin and WC.
All the fun of this spectacular seaside resort is on your doorstep. Award-winning fish and chip restaurants, elegant bars, traditional pubs, craft shops and jewellers selling Whitby’s iconic jet. Why not come during the two Goth Festivals, during Folk Week or the wonderful Regatta? All of which are incredibly popular extravaganzas that take place annually.
Visitors are spoilt for choice when it comes to day’s out along Yorkshire’s wonderful coastline. Scarborough’s Peasholme Park, with its boating lake and miniature railway, is always popular with families. Or for 5 miles of unspoilt sandy beach, head 45 mins down the coast to Filey.
Whatever your taste, you are sure to be enchanted by beautiful Whitby and the warm, friendly welcome of its residents. Beachfront provides a very handy base.

The location is amazing and the property is very warm and comfortable. The welcome tray of goodies was great and meant we could have a cuppa and a biscuit when we arrived. The childrens fairground outside the front was noisy when it was operating but we were expecting that, it was only open for the weekend so that wasnt a problem. The views of the harbour from all windows meant a lot of time was sat just watched was going on in the harbour and on the piers. At night it was lovely to just sit and watch the lights and sunset. Thank you.
