Filey was seen as the quiet sibling to Scarborough, and visitors would be attracted by the peace and tranquillity that this little seaside town offered. This was all to change in the 19th century, when several acres of land were purchased by a wealthy Birmingham solicitor, and the Royal Crescent was constructed. High Victorian architecture attracted the cream of North Yorkshire society, and from then on for the next one hundred years, it was the most sought after address in the North of the country.
Today the town attracts a host of people interested in adventure activities such as surfing, sailing, kayaking, diving, and bird watching to its pleasant golden sandy shores and calm waters. The increased interest in leisure activities has brought a new wave of youthful vitality to the area.
Once the home of a thriving Butlins holiday camp, it has shrugged off its holiday camp feel, and the Filey hotels, alongside the town itself and its gorgeous location, now attracts a very different type of visitor. The Golf Club is one of the best courses in Yorkshire, and has an avid following. With spectacular views, and a great social meeting point for local golfers, it's a fantastic club to visit. Situated on the Links to the south of the town, it is very easy to get to from all accommodation providers in the town. The Sailing Club, which lies to the north of the town, hosts an annual regatta each year for sailing enthusiasts, and has regular 'come and try it' days, as well as courses for those wanting to learn to sail.
The sailing club is a great social hub for sailing fans in the area, and a great way to try a new sport. Surfing has seen a rise to fame in Filey with its big waves and free parking, it has become a firm favourite with Yorkshire surfers, and visiting surfers from further afield.
