Cattersty Sands (Skinningrove)

Fancy a day at the beach with your four-legged friend? Look no further than Skinningrove Beach, also known as Cattersty Sands. Nestled midway between Hartlepool and Whitby, this small beach is a hidden gem surrounded by dramatic cliffs.

Bonus? Free parking is available in a nearby car park. Just follow the path close to the jetty, and you'll be led onto the sandy flats of the tranquil cove. Tail-waggingly convenient, right?

With wide-open spaces, it's paw-sitively the perfect place for a game of fetch, or even just a leisurely walk to let your dog sniff out new adventures. And if you think this sounds like a dog's dream, just wait—there's plenty for the humans too! Stunning cliffside walks offer breathtaking views, connecting you to the rest of the glorious coastline. It's the perfect spot for a family day out.

Oh, and let's not forget about the cat-venturers! For those brave enough to explore with their kitties, Skinningrove's quieter spots provide a purr-fect sanctuary for a feline frolic.
