    A British fishing town has been hailed as the “best beach on earth” and a World War I treasure. Travel News | Travel

    Boasting a spectacular five-mile-long beach and the ruins of a World War I submarine, the enchanting fishing town has been spotlighted as an under-the-radar coastal treasure.

    Located on the Yorkshire coast, Filey could easily be hidden among busy seaside favorites like Scarborough and Whitby.

    But if you're looking for a charming seaside retreat without the crowds found in its more famous neighbors, Filey is a must-visit place.

    Undoubtedly the biggest draw is its vast beach, which stretches for an awe-inspiring five miles and forms a majestic crescent between headlands.

    At low tide, the beach stretches for a quarter of a mile, giving beachgoers virtually unlimited space to explore, play sports, and carve gravel.

    In 2018, the Sunday Times named it the beach of the year, making it prominent among Brits.

    TripAdvisor reviewers seem to agree with the praise, offering glowing reviews for the pristine land.

    Reviewer David Rostron says: The tide will be enough to create a small pool, creating a safe water hole for toddlers.

    “The sea was nice and relatively clear and remained very shallow, albeit in a fair way.”

    Holidayman Washington said: “The best beach on earth, with over five miles of glorious hard sand, stretching from Filebrigg to the Chalk Cliffs of Speaton.

    “The last two times we've been the water came in so quickly it was tidal and we couldn't see the beach. This time the tide came out and we were able to enjoy the spectacular sights. Ta.”

    Another attractive feature of the area are the remains of World War I submarines around the northern headland of the beach.

    In 1921, the former Royal Navy submarine G3 was being towed north for scrapping when it broke free and drifted slowly into a cliff.

    The wreckage sparked local curiosity, leading to a boy appearing in Scarborough Children's Court accused of having a brass screw from the submarine.

    He was among the young men suspected of plundering the submarine and was fined shillings.

    The 187-foot-long, 693-ton giant eventually settled beneath Buckton Cliffs.
