If you are looking for traditional seaside cottages North Yorkshire is the place for you. Here you will find picturesque fishing villages such as Robin Hoods Bay, Runswick Bay and Staithes. Located furthest north Staithes, unlike the other two, is tucked into a cleft of rock which forms a natural harbour in this rugged patch of coastline. There's a Mediterranean feel to the place with its crop of white-washed cottages and haphazard pantile roofs. Not surprisingly many artists have been drawn to the area down the years and some are still displaying their work in the village. Staithes however is still a working village. There are often many fishing vessels in the harbour, which adds to the beauty of the place, fisherman regularly catch cod, lobsters and crabs. When the tide is out there are also many rock pools to explore which are great for families with children.
