Family and Seaside

A trip to the seaside is an essential part of childhood, and Scarborough is the perfect place for it, whatever your budget. A day on the beach – building sandcastles, paddling, sand between your toes, ice cream, donkey rides – it’s good old-fashioned fun for all the family.

And Scarborough offers twice as much beach as most holiday resorts, with its two bays, each with its own very different character – the South Bay glitters with amusement arcades, ice cream parlours and shellfish stalls, while the quieter North Bay, just a 20-minute walk around the glorious Marine and Albert Drives, or a ten-minute ride away on one of the regular open-topped buses, offers a more relaxing and nostalgic day out.
