Visitor information

Useful travel details before you head out.

Planning information makes the website more practical because visitors can sort out transport, timing, and facilities in one place.

Rosebay Coast can be reached by car, train, and local bus services. Wayfinding signs lead from the station to the main seafront entrance.

Parking

Two public car parks operate daily. The seafront car park includes accessible bays close to toilets and the information board.
