Filey is a traditional seaside resort promoting a peaceful holiday. The town continues to hold much of its existing character, with individual shops and narrow paths. Resting on the North East Coast, Filey has enjoyed a reputation of being a resort since Victorian times, set beside Filey Bay, a long stretch of beautiful sand. Filey Brigg and its shallow rockpools lie to the north. The bay is edged with two promenades and there are a selection of gardens close by.
