Reighton Sands is a small coastal settlement on the Yorkshire Coast in North Yorkshire, England, known for a long, gently shelving sandy beach backed by dunes and a string of holiday caravan sites. The shore looks out over the North Sea and offers wide, quiet sands and good walking, especially outside the height of the season.
Its character is strongly seasonal: the local economy and social life are centred on tourism, with families and holidaymakers arriving in summer, while the village becomes very quiet in winter. Nearby attractions include the traditional seaside towns of Filey and Bridlington and the birdlife of Bempton cliffs, and the area reflects the modest history of small Yorkshire seaside resorts rather than large Victorian grandeur.
