No better location to make memories-on-sea, with morning strolls along the shoreline feeling the sand between your toes. Further afield, North Bay urges you to visit, its Blue Flag status evidence of its ranking as one of Europe’s premier beaches.
Stop off to savour a freshly whipped ice cream or perhaps fresh croissants. Explore the beauty of the Italian Gardens, before heading inland to the town centre for shops, bars and restaurants aplenty. Round off the day catching a performance in The Open Air Theatre, a venue for bands, singers and comedians, or at the famous Stephen Joseph Theatre, home to first-class drama, music, films and comedy.
Fill yet more days with thrills at the Sky Trail Adventure and Peasholm Park. Or make a splash at the Alpamare water park with its outdoor pools, wave machine and exhilarating state-of-the-art water rides.
Why not slow down the pace a little with a trip to see the seals, penguins, sharks, turtles and others who call the Sea Life Sanctuary home. Then onto Scarborough Castle with its 3,000 years of history to enjoy.
No car? No problem. Scarborough Train Station is just a 5-minute walk away and has routes to Filey, Bridlington, Liverpool and Sheffield. There are plenty of bus services too. Route 12 takes you to the neighbouring seaside towns of Filey and Bridlington, while the X93 travels through to Middlesbrough with drop-offs in Robin Hood’s Bay and Whitby.
