Stoupe Beck Sands is a picturesque beach located in the county of Yorkshire, England. Situated on the eastern coast, this sandy stretch is nestled between the towns of Robin Hood's Bay and Ravenscar. With its stunning natural beauty and tranquil atmosphere, Stoupe Beck Sands is a popular destination for visitors seeking a peaceful coastal retreat.

The beach itself boasts a long expanse of golden sand that extends over half a mile. At low tide, the vast shoreline is exposed, providing ample space for beachcombing, picnicking, and enjoying leisurely walks along the water's edge. The sand is soft and inviting, making it an ideal spot for sunbathing and building sandcastles.

One of the standout features of Stoupe Beck Sands is the towering cliffs that surround the beach. These dramatic limestone cliffs add to the area's allure and create a stunning backdrop against the sparkling blue waters of the North Sea. The cliffs also serve as a haven for wildlife, with various seabirds often seen swooping and nesting along their rugged faces.

Access to Stoupe Beck Sands is via a steep path leading down from the nearby coastal villages. While the descent may be challenging for some, the reward of reaching the beach is well worth the effort. Visitors can also explore the surrounding area, which offers breathtaking cliff-top walks and panoramic views of the coastline.

Stoupe Beck Sands is a hidden gem along Yorkshire's coastline, offering a serene and unspoiled beach experience. Whether you're seeking relaxation, natural beauty, or a chance to immerse yourself in the region's rich wildlife, this beach is a must-visit destination.

Toilets at Robin Hood's Bay The toilets have been much improved since 2008 <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/818318">NZ9505 : Robin Hood's Bay - public toilets</a>. However it does now cost 40p to "spend a penny". The doors carry a warning that they may lock if you try to hold them open for the next person. There is a defibrillator of the wall outside. Behind the block is a children's play area.

Muir Lea Stores, Robin Hood's Bay According to the shop's website, Muir Lea Stores offers locals, day trippers and people staying in the village 'a large range of goods from food to wine, newspapers to milk, and beach toys to gifts'. Perhaps the range of buckets and spades is a little optimistic for a cold dull day in December. The Covid-19 notice specifies only three customers inside at any one time and asks anyone with a cough or fever not to enter.

Robin Hood's Bay Bucking the trend for the month, Christmas Day 2021 dawned bright and clear on the Yorkshire coast. Even so, a brisk breeze ensured plenty of waves. Robin Hood's Bay village can be seen straight ahead. Ness Point is at the end of the headland.

Low Peak Looking down from High Peak. There was once an alum works here; alum was extracted from quarried shales and used for textile dyes. The process was slow and complex and synthetic alum became available in the second half of the 19th century, leading to the end of the industry in this area.
