This is a really pleasant site and one that is excellently located for all the tourist attractions: Scarborough, Whitby, The Wolds, Dalby Forest, North Yorks Moors Railway etc. If you take your dog(s) at tip would be check the dog-friendly beaches first (Scarbourgh North Beach is wonderful), but make sure you check the tides (eg EasyTide: http://www.ukho.gov.uk/easytide/EasyTide/SelectPort.aspx ). You won't find any beach to walk on at high tide... The very riendly wardens work really hard to look after everything to the highest standards - just a shame a minority give them a harder life with their litter and not picking up after their dogs.
