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. This film opens with shots of the huge, rolling waves that break over the rocks, the promenade and pier at Whitby. There are shots of the huge waves taken from a variety of angles and from a height looking down into the water. A young man is down on a small area of beach very close to the sea. He is carrying a younger child on his back. There are a few other people on the beach too and the rough sea can be seen clearly behind them.
