At Robin Hood's Bay, smugglers historically engaged in the illicit trade of goods such as alcohol, textiles, and tobacco, evading customs duties and regulations. The remote coastal location and hidden coves provided ideal conditions for these activities, allowing smugglers to transport contraband from ships to the shore. The area became notorious during the 18th and early 19th centuries for its smuggling operations, which were often supported by local communities. This legacy is still reflected in the village's history and folklore today.
