At low tide there is a gently sloping, sandy beach at Reighton. The beach in Filey Bay is 8km long and has a 'zeta form'. Here at Reighton (6km from Filey Brigg) the beach is about 130m long at low water, and has a gentle gradient of around 1-3 degrees. This view shows the runnel. To the right of the picture is the steeper upper beach and to the left the break-point bar.
