Additional Information
Make sure that you park your car along the right road or you'll get a ticket! Try to get as far out to the waves as you can ( its v. hard when they are big ). Great for Bodyboarders (like myself but just as good for all you surfers!) Visit 'The Secret Spot Surf Shop' on Somerset Terrace ( of valley road ) for the best tide times and get some cool stuff!
Cayton Bay Surf Shop has now been taken over by secret spot. So it may be worth a quick look. It has less range but the people there are friendly and if you just wanna grab some wax or get a mars bar before you go in try here. They also have the same tide times (watch out tho! currently the tide tables show whitby times - caytons +24mins from these times and scarboroughs +25)

Cayton Bay
By Anonymous , 28-11-2007
wow... - Surfing has changed!! Popped out to Cayton for a surf on my lunch break and while getting changed a mini-bus rocked up with 12 college type surfers from inland!!! Rent-a-crowd! All learner standard, however, decided to enter the water in front of the main peak, fantastic. Bodies everywhere, drop ins, it was all going on. Rule no 1, when visiting a break NEVER bring a crowd, rule no 2, NEVER enter the water in front of the main peak always to the side and be aware of other surfers and the never drop in. Local surfers will only stand it for so long this is not Cornwall thank god.
