Cayton Bay is famous amongst the surfing community around the world and has a thriving Surf Shop and car park on the cliff tops above the Bay. The Bay forms one of a series of large sweeping sandy bays on the edge of the North Yorkshire National Park which run from Bridlington in the south to Whitby in the north.
Cayton railway station on the Yorkshire Coast Line from Hull to Scarborough served the village until it closed on 5 May 1952.
In 2010, Cayton won a Silver-gilt, at the Britain in Bloom awards. This was achieved despite the fact that earlier in the year, there had been a mystery sabotage attack/s on a number of flower beds in the village.
The World War Two defences constructed around Cayton during have been documented by William Foot. They included a section post and several pillboxes. Many of the remaining defences have been subject to coastal erosion.
Cayton has a disputed, but proud and enviable military record. The village sent 45 men to the First World War, and 60 to the Second. There was not a single fatality amongst the combined 105 men, which is possibly unique, with only one soldier suffering a serious injury during World War I, then being subsequently spared by a German Officer.

To create the program, and many others that followed, he licensed, then later acquired, rights to vintage boxing film footage, and for nearly fifty years amassed and restored a collection of thousands of films going back to 1897. These films featured such legendary boxers as Jim Corbett, Jack Johnson, Jack Dempsey, Joe Louis, Rocky Marciano, Sugar Ray Robinson, Muhammad Ali, George Foreman, Wilfred Benítez, and Kid Gavilan. Cayton even acquired rights to the first boxing film ever made, a sparring session filmed by Thomas Edison in 1894. His effort in collecting, restoring, and maintaining these films, many of which were rapidly deteriorating, is credited for preserving modern boxing's heritage and history. Mr. Cayton undertook meticulous, arduous efforts in the restoration of his epic footage.
Bill Cayton's company, Big Fights, also produced numerous boxing features including "a.k.a Cassius Clay" and academy award-nominated films "Jack Johnson" and "The Legendary Champions."
In 1960 Cayton was joined by boxing historian and film collector Jim Jacobs. The pair subsequently went into managing boxers, guiding such fighters as Wilfred Benítez, Edwin Rosario, and Iron Mike Tyson to world titles. Following Jacobs death in 1988, Cayton managed world champions Tommy Morrison, Vinny Pazienza, and championship contenders Jeremy Williams, Michael Grant, and Omar Sheika among others.
Cayton sold his film and tape library in 1998 to the Walt Disney Company, which shows many of the titles on its ESPN Classic network.
Cayton's career extended well beyond boxing. His advertising agency remained active until well into the 1970s. In 1957, working with director and writer, Fred Ladd, Cayton's company began marketing Russian animated films from the 1940-'50s, especially those of the famous Soyuzmultfilm studios (well known titles included The Firebird, The Frog Prince, Beauty & the Beast, The Space Explorers, and Twelve Months). The films were dubbed, sometimes re-titled, partitioned into chapters and distributed to TV stations. He released a partly re-filmed version of the Czech animated feature Cesta do Pravěku (Karel Zeman, 1955), by replacing the opening and closing scenes with new footage and marketing it as Journey to the Beginning of Time. These films proved popular both as features and as TV episodes. Many additional cartoons and natural history films produced by Cayton were marketed under the names "Cartoon Classics", "Animatoons", and "Jungle." Cayton is also credited with reviving professional pool on television in 1977, producing showcase events which included, among others, the legendary Minnesota Fats - Willie Mosconi title bouts.
