*** Helpful Hints When Visiting Filey ***

* Buy the monthly local magazine, Filey Bay Today for what's going on in the town and villages, including Pub/Music Guide. Available on line and in shops.

* Street parking is challenging during high season, and the N Y Meter Maids really love their job! Car parks are: West Avenue, The Country Park, Station Avenue (behind Tesco), Between Station Approach and the bus station, small private car park; Church Ravine.

* Restaurants: it is best to book a table in bars and restaurants, to avoid disappointment.

*. Doggies: Filey is very dog friendly, however, dogs must be on a SHORT lead and kept on the floor in dog-friendly cafes and bars. Please clean up after your dog. Bagged dog waste can go in any bin. There are signs on the beach regarding dog-free areas.

* LITTER - You are never too far away from one of the over 100 council litter bins. Please use them. We rarely see a council litter picker in town. However, there is a local voluntary group, Keep Filey Tidy, whose members are out every day, doing just that. They are also useful for local knowledge - do ask.

* GULLS - Please do not feed them. They come to rely on food for humans, and swoop, dangerously, on people with chips, pastries, ice cream.

* GETTING TO AND FROM THE BEACH: There is no transport, at the moment, for getting you to and from the beach. Lazer Radio Taxis will take you anywhere in Filey for about a fiver a trip.

* Check TIDE TIMES, especially if going as far as Filey Brigg.

What a beautiful morning here in a very warm and sunny Filey

27/05/2026

📟 The arrival of hot weather meant that the crew at Filey had a busy bank holiday weekend, with three incidents across three days and both boats being launched on service. 📟

Our “shout” on Monday was to the aid of a broken down 10.5 metre fishing vessel with three people on board. The casualty vessel was 7.3 nautical miles from our launch site, east of Filey Bay. Our Atlantic 85 Lifeboat towed the vessel for a duration of around 2 hours and 20 minutes to the safety of Scarborough Harbour before returning to station.

Pictured is the navigation screen displaying casualty position and route to follow.
All of our boat crew train regularly in the use of electronic navigation equipment, alongside other means, so that we can locate and assist casualties as quickly and safely as possible, whatever the conditions.

📞 In an emergency at the coast, call 999 and ask for the coastguard
