Staithes is approximately 22 minutes drive from Whitby along the coast.

A recreation of the shop in which James Cook worked during his residency here, the museum is a treasure-trove of over 200 books, engravings, letters, medals and more, providing an insight into his incredible life and career, as well as into Staithes itself.

There is so much to do in Staithes, for both young and old. Fans of art and history will love strolling through the pretty town’s narrow cobbled streets and paying a visit to the elegant Staithes Art Gallery.
Staithes is a magnet for artists who come to admire the beautiful coastal scenery, traditional fishing scenes and village ambience, and immortalise them on canvas.

Things to do in Staithes
Exploring and Walking
A popular activity whilst in Staithes is to explore the old village through its fascinating alleys and ginnels. Winding through the village’s cottages and cobbled streets, each alley boasts a quaint name, such as ‘Dog Loup Alley’ – the narrowest alley in the world at just 18 inches wide! You will discover a different side to Staithes through each alley you visit with lots of opportunities for taking a unique and quirky photograph of Staithes from all angles!

Rockpooling and Fossil Hunting
A trip to the seaside wouldn’t be complete without a bit of rock pooling in the abundant rock pools left at low tide between Staithes and Port Mulgrave, many of which are teeming with life that children especially will love to seek out. You will certainly find plenty of fossils and tiny marine creatures whilst exploring, and if you are lucky, you may even spot some seals sunning themselves along the shore!
Staithes sits on what is known as the ‘Dinosaur Coast’, making it a favourite with fossil hunters, palaeontologists and dinosaur fans from across the country. You can choose to go on an organised fossil hunting trip or, for the more experienced, explore independently in and around Staithes and Runswick Bay. If visiting as a family, children will love their finds of ‘fools’ gold’ – little nuggets of Iron pyrite which, to the untrained eye, look just like the real thing!
