Boot1e Says: There's no treasure but it is an enjoyable way to spend an hour or two exploring the narrow roads and taking in the amazing views. It's a 1¼ mile route starting near the main car park at the top of the steep decline down to the old town. On the way see if you can name the...
JamalMorelli Says: Don't know why these waters reached me so deeply. Go to Staithes, sit near the wild waves and let the dreams dictate to you.
JamalMorelli Says: You wearing some giant rubber boots now?Yes? Bring them on down to Staithes, no one will pay you no mind.It's fun - and you can stomp into any old place with them on.

Have Sex with Captain Cook's Ghost
JamalMorelli Says: Have Sex with Captain Cook's Ghost Why not? Every other business is doing it.He was a grocer's assistant here in Staithes - so before you have sex with him, ask him "Paper or Plastic?" He's a Good Sport. Otherwise, he would ask Neptune to smash every insipid fish and chips,...
JamalMorelli Says: Staithes is like a bohemian fishing village - I could easily spend a season here, writing about the visions one can with the water spirits in the bay, the haunted waters, the philosophy which comes from a pint of black sheep.The bright colored doors, the cottages arranged...
JamalMorelli Says: Especially good to look at on a cold and awful day - think about the suffering of the lads during the Great War.From their site:http://www.staithes-town.info/history/staithes_war_memorial.htmThe Staithes War Memorial is located at the top of the High Street between the old...
Mike Kelly's Breakfast Room: Dog Waste Cafe
JamalMorelli Says: Someone told me not to eat at Mike Kelly's Breakfast Room - that it was actually "Dog Waste". Dog Waste is worth 500 GBP in this area - I saw it on a sign that explains if you leave it on the ground, you will pay a fine. So clean your plate! The brown crusty nearer to the...
The Royal George: A Community Center of Staithes
JamalMorelli Says: With pubs, it's about the groove for me - a good place to curl up, decent fire, folks that mind their own business. The Royal George has got that - and the community of fishers hanging out here is the dope. Hang on through the rain and wind... The Black Sheep, obviously.
With Whitby as your Base - Taking a Car
JamalMorelli Says: I don't know of any other way to Staithes, at least, no other way I'd be interested in short of boaating.Make Whitby your base and drive out on the A174 to Staithes... Hell, if you get tanked or fall in love with Staithes - splurge and stay the night in one of the billion...
JamalMorelli Says: The old city of Staithes has to be done by foot. Period. Walk down from the parking lot above the old city.
ettenaj Says: Any ice cream van or shop. Ice cream cornets are a must for anyone in the summer time, dont drop them though as they are not nice with sand!!
JamalMorelli Says: This old photo captures the surrender of the Convience Store Pen of Staithes to Jamal Morelli - who conquered it on request to sign the Guestbook. It was returned to the People of Staithes upon Jamal Morelli's return to Morocco, allowing the Pen to fall to it's original...
Cold days - off season - ghost town
JamalMorelli Says: Oh Staithes is very much alive - but the living is going on inside their houses so don't expect to see much hustling about during the cold season. The living will be found near a good fire in the pubs...
JamalMorelli Says: Ganked for your help from this site http://www.staithes-town.info/business/parking.htmTo save wasting anyone's time there is NO PARKING in Staithes, least not on the streets of the old town.If you're loading or unloading you can stop for a short while but more than likely...
No Cellphone Reception near the Shore
JamalMorelli Says: When you get to the shore - cellphones don't work. Get your stock updates before descending, Daddy Warbucks.
Explore every little street...
JamalMorelli Says: Map - place seems to small to warrant it, but I will recommend it anyway - pick it up in the tourist office in the carpark.
JamalMorelli Says: You are right near the shore - it is windy, cold, rainy - the works. Bring warm clothes, a pancho and an umbrella.
JamalMorelli Says: Staithes is off the beaten path. Just get there.(Asking what is off the beaten path for Staithes is like asking what is uncommon about the thinking of Spinoza, or what is an*l-expulsive in Jackson Pollack, or which part of sea is wet)
ettenaj Says: This tiny village itself is off the beaten track, a very quaint place, with lots of history re- smugglers and pirates.
