This live camera looks out over Robin Hood's Bay, a small fishing village on the North Yorkshire coast of England. It is useful for checking the state of the sea and the sky before you plan a walk along the shore or a trip to the coast.
Robin Hood's Bay sits in a steep-sided cove where red-roofed cottages climb the cliffs above a sandy and rocky shore. The village is known for its narrow, winding lanes that run down to the beach and for its long links with fishing and smuggling along the Yorkshire coast. The surrounding North York Moors National Park gives the area a dramatic, wind-swept character.
The camera is a beach view, so the most useful things to check are the tide, the sea state and the light. Depending on the view, you may see the water rising over the rocks or leaving wide sands at low tide. Clear mornings and low sun often bring the best colours, while stormy weather can make the sea look very rough from the shore. Check the tide times before visiting.
The coast here is cool and breezy for much of the year, with mild summers and changeable weather in every season, so bring layers and waterproofs. Walking the cliff paths between Robin Hood's Bay and Whitby is one of the area's most popular routes. You can compare conditions with the nearby Whitby Lifeboat Station and Runswick Bay cameras listed on this page.

Watching around low tide is often the most interesting, as the sands and rock pools are exposed, though calm, clear days with good light are generally the most pleasant to observe.
