Filey is a small coastal town on the North Sea in North Yorkshire, England, famed for a long sandy bay and a gentle Victorian promenade that still gives it a calm, traditional seaside feel. The town is dominated at its southern end by Filey Brigg, a narrow chalk headland popular for coastal walks, fossils and seal-spotting, while its beaches and cliffs make it a draw for day-trippers and holidaymakers.
Historically a fishing village that expanded as a 19th-century resort, Filey today relies largely on tourism, hospitality and small local businesses, with caravan parks and guesthouses busy in summer and a quieter, close-knit community outside the season. It also benefits from proximity to larger resorts such as Scarborough and Bridlington, and nature attractions like Bempton Cliffs for birdwatching.
