Filey beach has been selected as one of the top 50 beaches in the world and is a 2008 Recommended Beach by the Marine Conservation Society.

Now is the time to make a date to visit Filey and see a real beach and enjoy the town.
The whole beach runs from Filey Brigg in the north of the bay to almost Flamborough Head in the south, approximately 5 miles long. The beach in 2008 has again achieved the Blue Flag Award for cleanliness.
Filey has the Dams wetland and Carr Naze which are very popular with those interested in birds and wildlife.
The Coble landing has a small fleet of fishing Cobles which can be seen launching and landing from the beach, landing crab, lobster and the renowned Filey Bay Salmon.
The bay was the site of the epic battle fought between the British Navy and John Paul Jones, the Father of the American Navy, during the American War of Independence. Research has been underway for some years in an attempt to find his ship the Bonhomme Richard, which sank in the bay, and the likely wreck has been located.
Filey also has an RNLI station with both inshore and offshore lifeboats, which are regularly launched for training sessions and always attract attention.
