Sandsend is a seaside village located along the [[A174]], near [[Whitby]] in [[North Yorkshire]], [[England]]. Right at the opposite end of 2 to 3 mile stretch of Beach that starts near Whitby's West [[Pier]].
In 2011, it was listed by the [[Daily Telegraph]] newspaper as having one of the Top 20 beaches in the [[United Kingdom]].
The village has two main car parks. The first one (when heading out of Whitby towards [[Lyth]], [[Staithes]], [[Saltburn]] & [[Redcar]]) gives visitors access to [[Mulgrave Woods]], which is part of the [[Mulgrave Estate]] owned by the [[Marquis of Normandy]]. It is open to the public 3 days a week (apart from the month of May), and the paths lead you either back to the car park you just came from, or to the ruined remains of a previous [[Mulgrave Castle]] if you find the sign post to it located 45 minutes walk into the woods.
The second car park ia sandwiched between the notoriously steep Lyth Bank, a private residence that used to be the village's railway station, and a slipway into the [[North Sea]].
The railway station was opened on 3rd December 1883 as part of the [[Whitby, Redcar & Middlesbrough Union Railway]], and closed on 5th May 1958.
