*** 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.
