Bay Museum

This volunteer-run museum dishes the dirt on Robin Hood Bay's smuggling history, charting the era when it was a thriving port for contraband such as whisky and tobacco, and also explains its fishing heritage. It's only open during school holidays, but it's worth seeking out; check online for dates.
