The village of Staithes is famous for its beauty and charm, it is popular with photographers and painters and features in many photos and artwork of the area.

There is plenty to see and do with pubs, cafes, shops, art galleries, a fish smokehouse, a pretty beck and a sandy beach. The village hosts real ale and jazz festivals during the year and the September Arts Festival is becoming a very popular event which attracts many visitors. For those fancying taking to the waters, there are regular boat trips to Whitby from Staithes.
