Want to take the dogs for a walk on the beach. Whee can I park 30 foot motorhome for the day? All suggestions welcome.

Thanks

A bit of a hike, but top of the hill by the Abbey. Loads of space, but overnight not allowed.

Since April 1846 but have always camped.
As said, between Whitby and sandsend. Check tide times as not much beach left at high tide. Example was last Tuesday.

As a local I'd go for Sandsend like several suggest.

The Penny Hedge pub near Sainsbury's do allow motorhome parking and I suspect overnights but I'm not sure if they charge and whether they expect you to eat there. It's quite a walk from there to the beach.

Sandsend is free until the start of March and overnighting seems ok.

The park and ride I think is April to October, but not all of the drivers will let dogs on the buses, anyone objects and they stop you, this happened last year when we were at Broadings Farm. Sandsend would seem best as no steps for the dogs to negotiate.

Sandsend beach, last year. If you zoom in you can just see the Abbey.

Thanks for the Sandsend suggestions. Already checked s4s and it shows a cross for larger motorhomes. We are 9m per the opening post - will we fit?

just going for the day on Monday

Since 2009 with motorhomes several caravans then tents before that.
There’s no limit to size at Sandsend it’s just on the road side. As said you can pay (in season) and even stay over night, both sides of the road. If you don’t mind being on a hill and traffic noise.
You can park in the car parks at back of train station and co-op (no overnighting) also up at the top by the abbey in the car park (again no overnighting) plus as said there’s the park and ride. Don’t worry loads of places . Have fun.

If you overlap at all in the car park you will get a ticket. As I well know.😩

Oh dear 😟
Strike that idea then.
With us being in a PVC we don’t think about that. We can usually find somewhere everywhere we go. Tend to try get it so rear end is over the grass edge etc.
