A view along the quayside down river to the fish quay and the sea.  Whitby often features in the TV series Heartbeat - unlike many locations though it doesn't have fictitious name.

Harbour mouth at Whitby

The harbour mouth is protected by these curved breakwaters that will keep the worst of a heavy sea from penetrating into the harbour.
