North York Moors Coast, Sandsend to Whitby.

Not strictly in the North Yorkshire Moors but it's close enough for me. Having spent the night at Cowbar near Staithes I drove to Sandsend to park up (free) and headed off down the beach to spend a good few hours in Whitby.

Same view from the night before.
