Vanguard is one of two holiday cottages available at the lighthouse, with the second cottage named Galatea, which also accommodates five guests.

This makes it a perfect base for enjoying coastal walks and immersing oneself in the natural beauty of the region.
Whitby itself is a town steeped in maritime history, famously associated with Captain James Cook, who began his voyages of discovery from this port. He was apprenticed to a Whitby shipowner and made his first significant journey aboard the Endeavour, a collier ship built in Whitby. The town's skyline is dominated by the impressive ruins of St. Hilda's Abbey, which sits high on the East Cliff, providing a historical backdrop to the bustling quayside and the maze of narrow streets that lead down to the harbor.
Beyond Whitby, visitors can explore the picturesque coastal villages and resorts to the south, including Scarborough, Filey, and Bridlington. Inland, the heather-covered moorlands of the North Yorkshire Moors offer breathtaking landscapes and opportunities for outdoor activities. Furthermore, the historic city of York lies further afield, providing additional cultural and sightseeing opportunities for those staying in the area.
