The force added that the woman was aged and in her 50s and from the local area.
She was spotted at 11.01am by a passerby who called emergency services.
The death is not being treated as suspicious and a report is being prepared for the coroner.
The victim's family are being supported by specialist officers.
It comes after cops yesterday launched an investigation into the sudden death of a woman in her 60s at a popular seaside beauty spot on July 31.
While a day before, a man and a woman, both understood to be in their 40s, died after falling from the cliffs at Whitby.
Her body was found below cliffs at Whitby Abbey in North Yorks., yesterday - hours after a couple allegedly leapt to their deaths in the same area.
Her death comes after a man and a woman, both understood to be in their 40s, died after falling from the cliffs at Whitby on July 30, as well as another woman, aged in her 60s, who was found by the cliffs near the pavillion on July 31.
The latter two victims reportedly chatted to fellow walkers before allegedly leaping to their deaths hand-in-hand from the same cliffs.
Their bodies were recovered from the rocks below the drop on Wednesday evening following the apparent suicide pact.

Police are not linking this latest death to the alleged double suicide, which North Yorkshire Police continue to investigate.
Brian Vickers, 63, who was attending a nearby steam rally, said: 'I saw the helicopter hovering and came down to see what was going on.
'I was told from somebody who has been walking along the path that he had come across them shortly before and they did not appear to be in distress.
'It was as if they were just going for a walk, there was nothing strange about it.
'About a dozen people witnessed it. They turned to face the sea and held hands and jumped."
A member of the public alerted the police at 7.16pm on Wednesday after spotting a man and woman on the rocks below.

Edris Abdelrazig was arrested for allegedly trying to lure away the girl while she was with her father KIDNAP CHARGE Migrant 'tried to kidnap a little girl, 10,' while living in 3-star taxpayer-funded asylum hotel in leafy suburb Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A MIGRANT from a taxpayer-funded asylum hotel has been charged with attempting to kidnap a child, The Sun can reveal. The Sudanese man appeared in court accused of attempting to swipe the girl of ten while she was with her father. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up Edris Abdelrazig, 30, in Stockport, Gtr Manchester, was arrested for allegedly trying to lure away the girl on July 13. He had been living in a three-star, £100-a-night hotel in leafy Manchester suburb Wilmslow. Prosecutors say he travelled two miles south, where he made the attempt at taking the child near the Walnut Tree Playing Field. Abdelrazig appeared before JPs on July 15. He was remanded in custody to appear at Manchester crown court on August 26. It comes after claims of a cover-up because police told councillors in Nuneaton, Warks, to avoid disclosing that two suspects in the rape of a 12-year-old girl were asylum seekers. Warwickshire county council's leader, Reform UK's George Finch, said he had written to the Home Office to demand all asylum seekers be moved elsewhere. A Government spokeswoman said: 'Foreign nationals who commit crimes should be in no doubt that the law will be enforced and justice delivered.'

Prosecutor Nathan Davis told Bradford Crown Court on Friday: "He left after an argument and she would call him and be abusive and ask for money." At around 4pm, Bland discovered he was at a bus station in Halifax and travelled to him where she called him a racist word and a "dirty dog". She then proceeded to grab him by the collar of his coat and throw him around as she cruelly demanded cash.

She then became aggressive when he refused to hand it over, instead offering the alternative of going to a cash point together to withdraw money. It was on the journey she became more violent and began kicking him in the leg and screaming at him. A woman who was witnessing the horror abuse then tried to intervene but Bland turned on her - grabbing her by the scarf and threatening to "knock her jaw off" if she "didn't shut the f*** up".
