Filey beach was closed for a time on Saturday after the discovery of bones on the beach.
North Yorkshire Police say the closure of the beach followed the discovery of possible human bones.
A temporary closure was put in place from midday.
Officers were asking the public to stay away from the beach while a recovery operation took place.
Police have confirmed that the beach later reopened after the bones were confirmed as belonging to an animal.
