Home to a bustling fishing industry, the harbour is a departure point for many pleasure boats and fishing trips. Visitors can stroll along the quayside and watch the fishing boats come and go, or take a boat trip to explore the coastline from a different perspective.<\/p><p>In addition to its seaside beauty and historic attractions, Whitby is also renowned for its lively events calendar. Throughout the year, the town plays host to a range of festivals, concerts and other cultural events including the famous <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sykescottages.co.uk\/blog\/whitby-goth-weekend-guide\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Whitby Goth Weekend<\/a>.<\/p><p>One of the most popular events is the Whitby Regatta.
