Expansive views show the various activities on Filey beach; donkey rides, paddling pool and a flower garden. The last shots show a glimpse of the buildings that are built along the sea front. Title - Scarborough, aristocrat of English resorts, might surely be called 'the city of flowers'. In this sequence, the filmmaker captures an array of shots showing tourists enjoying various horticultural sights in Scarborough. Title - Under the shadow of Castle hill, drifters unload the harvest of the sea. This sequence opens with a panoramic view of Scarborough Harbour. A variety of shots then show the harbour in more detail which includes the moored boats and a lighthouse. Then, from the water, the filmmaker captures more shots of boats and some seafront restaurants that include, 'the harbour caf?' and 'Sadlers caf?', while in the background there a castle is just visible. There is then a sequence which shows the fishing industry in Scarborough; fishermen unload their catch, pack the fish into crates and check their nets. The sequence concludes with further shots of the sea front, and the filmmaker focuses on tour boats which leave the harbour. Title - In the North Bay, a small part of the coast may be traversed by this interesting railway. Abreast of a multi-coloured flower garden runs a miniature railway, and the filmmaker creates a nice sequence which shows views of tourists enjoying the ride, the driver operating the miniature locomotive and shots from on-board the train. Title - Some miles inland lies Thornton Dale, a village of unusual beauty. Cows trot past the camera as a man walks his push bike along a road. There are then various shots of quaint cottages with thatched roofing and more grand stone buildings. The filmmaker also captures a small bird nesting in a tree and a Labrador sitting in a sunny garden. Title -Continuing our journey northwards, we discover quaint Robin Hood's bay perched precariously on the cliffs. The filmmaker captures several narrow streets in Robin Hood's bay, which include shots of the houses, shops and a pub, which is called the Laurel Inn. Then on the beach a group of people have gathered round a stall selling octopus in jars, sea cockles and an assortment of other souvenirs from the sea. Title - Whitby, an ancient Yorkshire town surmounted by its historic Abbey and old St. Mary's church. An expansive view shows a street in Whitby with the Abbey in the background high above.

The filmmaker then captures fisherman fixing nets, sorting their catch and baiting their lines. The final shots show the architecture of the sea front. Title - Runswick sprawls attractively on one side of its narrow bay. A panoramic view shows people on Runswick beach and the various houses which nestle amongst the different echelons of the hillside. Following this, a man holding a baby stands by the water's edge. A small white building called the, 'Sandside caf?', is then captured as the filmmaker shows a sweeping pan of the hillside area. Tourists are then captured walking around some streets in Runswick. Title - Our last call is still further north at the quaint harbour of Staithes. A large family disembark from a row boat on Staithes beach, before the filmmaker cuts to show a little girl looking through a window outside a terraced house. A panoramic view then shows Staithes bay and its cliffs. From the dock, tourists watch as boats drift in and out of the harbour. Then there is a sequence which shows people of Staithes enjoying the day; a kid walks down a street eating an ice cream, a group of women chat outside a house, a little boys cries as he is dragged towards the beach by his mother, and a boy pushing a bicycle looks down at an anchored row boat.
