Why Scarborough
Tourists have been flocking to the seaside resort of Scarborough for nearly 400 years. The beautiful scenery and countless attractions and activities to take advantage of make it perfect for a family getaway.
Scarborough is a fantastic location for those who love the outdoors. Stunning beaches, gardens, promenades and cliffs are all right on the doorstep. Take in some local history at the Castle, go thrill-seeking at the Sky Trail Adventure, or try boating in Peasholm Park. Plus, the town is placed perfectly for access to the North York Moors, Dalby, and the Great Yorkshire Forest.
There’s plenty of beach to go around, with two bays. South Bay is awash with amusements, ice cream shops and shellfish stalls. Or, take a walk by the beautiful marine, or hop on an open-top bus to the North Bay, which has a quieter, more relaxed atmosphere.
