Fishing Off Whitby Pier, Yorkshire, UK Magnet

Fishing Off Whitby Pier, Yorkshire, UK Whenever the tide is coming in at Whitby, there seems to be a lot of fishermen and women taking advantage of the influx of fish heading inland with the tide. The piers of Whitby are four structures along the River Esk estuary in Whitby, North Yorkshire, England. Whilst all the piers can be accessed by the general public, the piers were not built as seaside attractions - so called pleasure piers like Redcar, Saltburn or Withernsea, moreover serving a civil purpose, such as ship loading and protecting the harbour.
