(YO21 3SN) Whitby - Sandsend Road

Beautiful spot. Amazing views. Lay-by parking. Road quietens down after around 8pm. disabled badge holders “free of charge and without time limit” £7.20p for 24 hours otherwise. Lovely to sit and listen to the waves. Couple of coffee shops/ ice cream/ sandwiches a 5 minutes walk from parking, well maintained toilets within 5 minutes walk although they do have 2 small steps to access.

this is a very fast road. we got a 24hr ticket for £7.20. decided not to stay due to closeness of the passing vehicles rocking the van. great for the day and our ticket is valid for tomorrow morning if we return.

Cheap parking, I paid £3.60 from 9pm to 11am. Fabulous view of the sea. The road is used all night, some of the cars go past so fast that my van rocked. I had a decent night sleep, and would use this again if I was in the Whitby area. There are regular buses into Whitby, the parking in Whitby is soooo expensive. Sandsend is a nice little place, friendly pubs.

Nice place to get parked it’s cheap parking and it’s only charged between 9am 8pm I think it was had a few people blasting there horns that stopped after about 11 the road is a little busy but honestly the view in the morning by far makes up for it ohh there’s also next to no phone reception hear

just come back from staying 2 nights , payed £12 for 48hrs parked up. Toilets open and clean, very near to beach and a good cafe. At night yes road noise but not excessive considering its a main road, but gets vey busy on the layby so its hit & miss to get a good spot. Park up and next to a bus route into whitby or a walk of 2.4 miles but altogether a sound spot

fab place to park for the night, yes it's a fairly busy road but so worth it for the view & the sound of the sea!

Great place to stay . No noise from beeping of horns . Fabulous view across the beach . Free parking up till 1st March turn its 20p an hour. Will definitely come again . Walking into village to get some fish and chips and visit the vintage gift shop. There were other campervans and motor homes but not too many . Was expecting problems but there were none. The road is noisy but you would expect it.

Beautiful place and views. Great parking but is let down by (what must be) the local residents driving by parked campers at all hours of the night and beeping their car horn the full stretch of the road. 5am this morning they started. Beeping at least 40 times while driving down the stretch of road. (Seems a lot of reviews say the same) Don’t go to Sands End unless you don’t want to sleep!

Great location and view. Traffic travels fairly fast past which shook the van during the night, plus several horns during the night. Overall a good stay.

Stayed here last night. Beautiful, picturesque spot to park up, within walking distance to Whitby. Unfortunately spoilt by cars flying past beeping their horns (not funny). And around 2am banging on the sides of the van (also not funny). Won’t be going back. Such a shame.

Nice view, quite exposed in the wind. Road quite busy, even throughout the night.

Family with 2 smaller children. Easy to park, Free which is a bonus there's a little toilet a bit further up which we used they were standard cleanliness. I read reviews saying it was loud with cars but honestly it's wasn't much of a problem for us. It was what you expect parked on a main road. I'd definitely recommend. Lovely view to wake up to. 10 mins from Whitby!

Great spot right next to the sea. Toilets are open 24/7 and there’s a few places to eat/drink within walking distance. Only downside is that this is next to a main road, no problems through the night but you do get rocked about during the day.

Pros: Beautiful view, cafe and 24hr toilets a short walk. Free between 7pm & 9am. Feels safe for a family. Cons: Road noise and occasional antisocial honkers (car horns)! this didn't wake the kids.

Awesome sea views and about 30-40minutes walk along the beach to Whitby. It’s on a busy road but it does quieten down after 10pm with a few vehicles through the night but to be expected. A bit slanted but the location is great. And busy with other campers.

Basically a long lay bye with parking. Free between October and March, a busy road up to about 11.00 and some people like sounding their horn in the middle of the night.

stopped here Wednesday night busy road till about 11pm but not to bad through the night . lovely to hear the waves and the wind sat on the bench about 12pm with a cup of tea the sky was amazing, no problems, fine for a night can imagine very busy in summer months

It’s only a matter of time folks. Drove past over the weekend and I counted at least 17 campers and MH parked up. Admittedly some maybe day vans. We’re struggling to find places to park in this area, and this will only fuel further bans and do us no favours. Think! if there’s 2-3 vans overnight move on.

Super Stellplatz, wir hatten keine Probleme mit Einheimischen, die nachts gehupt haben. Natürlich ist es etwas lauter, da es DIREKT an der Straße ist, aber für 0€ mit einer so fantastischen Aussicht einfach nur empfehlenswert! Von dort kommt man auch prima an den Strand und kann morgens den Sonnenaufgang bestaunen (siehe Foto).

Es ist ein guter Platz. Wir haben uns sehr sicher gefühlt und der Sonnenuntergang und der Sonnenaufgang waren wunderschön. Die Autos sind schon etwas mühsam, für einen kostenlosen Parkplatz, kann man aber nicht viel mehr erwarten. Das Hupen, dass in einem anderen Kommentar beschrieben wird, haben wir auch bemerkt. Wir vermuten, dass das wütende Anwohner oder so sind. So schade.

Good place to stay. it is road side and a little noisy, we had a few cars beep their horns when they went past (aren't they funny :/) But a great view, right near the sea, pub and cafe within a few minutes stroll. I'd stay here again

I love staying here, if you can get over being parked on the roadside it is really nice, facilities have just been refurbished, you’re right on the beach and there is a cafe too. Parking starts 1st March which is £5 for four hours or £6 for all day. Bargain. Free to park overnight

Great view but we only lasted an hour before moving on as traffic is so fast and passes very close to van causing it to wobble a lot. Great spot if you can deal with that.

A long stretch of lay by with lots of spaces , toilets at the bottom of the hill and a pub and chip shop , 45 mins walk into Whitby or there is a bus stop. The only thing that lets this place down is the cars passing very fast during the night / early hours and holding down there horns would put us off staying again and we only stayed the one night

Lovely place Good clean public toilets on this road & also the car park. I will be back but won't stay on this road again. During the night a few on their horns,bit annoying but the traffic on this road is non stop nearly all night/ fast & very noisy to sleep here. Next time we will go to the car park and see if we can get in 2 5m height or up to the campsite on the hill as heard it was £12pn.

Can be a bit noisy with the odd fast car but it's a lovely spot with toilets open all night. it's pay and display but free over night. Lots of little pubs n cafes on the front, do use them and keep the place clean so the locals see us as a benefit.

Loads of spaces, roadside but safely off the road. Right on the sea fronts. Unfortunately can be quite noisy on a night with a few people pipping horns and speeding by, can make the van rock a bit. Not great if you're a nervous sleeper

This is an amazing spot, however the traffic is really noisy with cars beeping their horns during the night we had at least 4 between 12 and 06:00 beep waking us up. the views are amazing. I'd suggest only staying if you are a heavy sleeper.

We stayed here last night..was ok at first but then after 11 it was like a race track and all the people passing holding there horns on ! It’s a shame as it’s lovey place AVOID

Parked here last night. Yes, the road and sea are a little noisy but, overall slept well. The view looking out to sea more than makes up for it.

We had a great night here, yes the traffic is busy, but like a ticking clock just tuned it out. £6.00 for 24 hours of parking in the season. Toilets basic, but open all the time.

I am the person that can literally sleep on a washing line, and I was drawn in with the good reviews, this place was horrific. It was free, and beautiful views. Busy road with many vehicles at high speed some honking their horn. We saw most of the night, my 3 children however, slept through. I reaally would not recommend. s

Lovely views and plenty of parking overnight, but very busy road throughout the night. Unfortunately there were a few drivers who were tooting their horns when driving past the 3 campers parked up in the early hours of the morning.

Good location and nice spot next to the sea. road can get abit busy but definitely worth a visit.

Good location, nice spot for shot 1night stop, very busy road.

Busy road and fills up quickly. Stunning views though

Great if you want to be part of a long line of campers and listen to cars flying past. I still loved the fact it was free and I fell asleep listening to the sea.

Beautiful spot right next to the sea and opposite the public toilets. Great for dogs as this is the dog friendly side of the beach. We did our first excursion here and will definitely be back :)

Lovely place to stay.

A little busy but stunning views. Toilets close by. Up to about 1am very noisy with traffic. Light sleepers may not be happy here!

Great park up, fantastic sea view. We paid £6 and stayed for 24 hours but from 7pm to 9am totally free. Quiet through the night but cars fly past from around 6am

Stayed overnight at the weekend lovely views road is quite busy till later on. but a lovely place

Stayed overnight February 2020. All parking meters were covered and out of use for the winter. Traffic noise not a problem.

Please note All whitby sands end and Scarborough are not usable for overnight. the local council have been cracking down and you will be charged

Pulled over to sit on Beach ended up staying overnight. Lovely spot but road very noisy. Pub and Toilets within an easy walk. 20p an hour to park high season.

Fairly busy road lots of passing cars and foot traffic but found a flat section with lovely views back into Whitby

On road parking. Great views but extremely noisy with traffic until early hours which also rocks the van. Public toilets nearby.

Littéralement au bord de la route (stationnement le long du trottoir). Gratuit en ce mois de février. Vue imprenable sur la mer et balade sur la plage. À cause de la circulation, à éviter si vous avez le sommeil léger.
