The Bay Hotel
The Bay Hotel is a public house in Robin Hood's Bay, North Yorkshire, England. The pub is known for being a destination for coast-to-coast walkers, for once being washed into the sea (then rebuilt), and also for having its windows wrecked by the bowsprit of ship during a heavy storm. The Bay Hotel stands at the very edge of the sea wall at Robin Hood's Bay facing out towards the sea, and is the second inn to be sited at that location. It is a grade II listed building.

Robin Hood's Bay Lifeboat Station
Robin Hood's Bay Lifeboat Station was a Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) lifeboat station, situated at Robin Hood's Bay, on the coast of North Yorkshire, England. The lifeboat station had been operating for just over 100 years intermittently when it was closed by the RNLI in 1931. The withdrawal of the lifeboat capability from Robin Hood's Bay was due to the Whitby lifeboat being able to be launched from Whitby, and into the bay at Robin Hood's Bay, before the bay lifeboat itself could be manhandled into the sea.

Robin Hood's Bay Museum
Robin Hood's Bay Museum is a museum in a historic building in Robin Hood's Bay, a village in North Yorkshire, in England.
The building was originally constructed as a cottage, possibly in the 17th century. In 1891, it was purchased by R. J. Cooper, the vicar of St Stephen's Church, Fylingdales, who converted the downstairs room into space for a coroner, and added an extension to house a mortuary. By 1900, it had been wholly remodelled, and it was used as a library and reading room, while still remaining available for use by a coroner. The library closed in 1987, and the building became a museum. It houses a collection of material relating to the history of the village. The building has been grade II listed since 1969.
The building is constructed of stone with a string course, and a swept pantile roof with a stone ridge, and coping and a kneeler on the left. There are two storeys and two bays, and a single-storey entrance bay on the left. To the left of the main block is a doorway with a hollow-chamfered surround and a flattened ogee lintel. Above is a single-light window, and in the right bay are mullioned windows. The entrance bay is gabled and contains a similar doorway, above which is a round-headed window and a cross finial.

United Reformed Church, Robin Hood's Bay
The United Reformed Church is a redundant church building in Robin Hood's Bay, a village in North Yorkshire, in England.
The Congregationalist J. C. Potter began preaching in a schoolroom in Robin Hood's Bay in 1838. In 1840, a church building was constructed at Fisher Head, on a prominent site above the beach. It originally accommodated 25 adherents in the village. In 1972, it was part of the majority of the Congregational Church of England and Wales which became part of the new United Reformed Church. The church building was closed and sold in the 21st century, with only one member transferring to Flowergate United Reformed Church in Whitby. The building has been grade II listed since 1969.
The chapel is built of sandstone, and has a Welsh slate roof with stone copings and block kneelers. The entrance front is gabled, and has two storeys and three wide bays. Steps lead up to a central gabled porch with a trefoil finial containing double doors. The windows have pointed arches and hood moulds, and above the porch is an oval plaque with the date and an inscription. Some of the windows contain frosted glass, while the two at the rear have coloured glass which may be original.
