There are lots of fun things to do in Filey, plus it's the perfect location for a family day on the beach!
This glorious five-mile stretch of clean, soft sand is a blank canvass for traditional beachside family fun. You’ll need to go prepared, as there aren’t many modern facilities around, so pack a picnic and take all your gear so when you’ve found your perfect spot you can relax and let the sound of the waves and happy, playing children wash over you.
If you do manage to rouse yourself from your sandy slumber, Filey Bird Garden and Animal Park is a popular nearby attraction. Children will love the variety of animals from colourful parakeets to friendly alpacas as they wander around the walkways discovering different species as they go during this walk on the wild side on your Filey family day out.
Whatever the weather, Filey offers families a charm befitting only the most un-spoilt of seaside resorts.
