Lane up from the beach at Runswick Bay The lane becomes steep as it heads for the upper part of the village. The entrance to a public car park (pay and display in summer, free in winter) can be seen on the left; this is the only facility for visitors but there are also car parks for residents and members of the sailing club. Parking is not allowed on the road, enforced with double yellow lines.

Runswick Bay A former fishing village, now very much a holiday destination (many of the properties here are holiday lets), the village at Runswick Bay huddles around the north end of the beach. It was in fact relocated to this site in 1682 after the original village was destroyed in a landslip. This is one of the best-loved locations on the Yorkshire coast.

Runswick Bay: Kayaks and Rescue Boat Station A number of colourful kayaks are stored here just above the beach and behind them is the Runswick Bay Rescue Boat Station. This inshore facility operates independently of the RNLI and was established in 1982 after the lifeboat was moved to Staithes.
