Whilst we do not allow dogs in or through the cabin, dogs are more than welcome in our covered and uncovered outside eating area. If you are on your own, you can bring your dog into the café whilst you are ordering, we just ask that they don’t sit in the café and have a coffee with you!
We even offer a small sweet treat for your fury friends – Pupcakes!

DISCOVER SANDSEND
Sandsend is a small seaside, fishing village, that can be found on the North East coast, just a few miles out of Whitby. Sandsend was originally two villages, Sandsend and East Row. The village became one when the development of cottages for the alum workers merged the two villages together in the 1800’s.
Sandsend started to become popular with tourists with the opening of the Whitby, Redcar & Middlesborough Railway Union in 1883 when the railway was opened to passengers taking them from Whitby West Cliff Station (closed in 1961) along the Cleveland Way, through Sandsend, Kettleness and along to Loftus where it continued to Skinningrove, Brotton, Boosbeck and continued to Middlesborough.
