This brief film is part of a collection that records a family from York's trips to the coast and countryside around North Yorkshire. The films were all shot by the Lord Mayor of York's son and are a child's view of these days before World War Two. The film opens with some underexposed shots of a group of adults siting around on Whitby beach; they are talking and laughing. When the camera focuses on some of the people they get embarrassed and hide behind their hands or look away. A group of the children crowd around and smile for the camera; one of the girls holds their dog in her arms. Another young man lies on the ground looking up into the camera; he talks and laughs. The final shot is of a woman putting newspaper under the dog and then taking a towel of the clothes line.
