Excellent for a day trip, even better for a weekend (or longer), there are more things to do on the Yorkshire coast than there are grains of sand on Scarborough’s South Bay. Beware the traffic during the summer (set off early or take the train) but it’s well worth the journey. Here are some of our seaside highlights.
Filey - The quieter cousin to the larger coastal towns, the pretty town of Filey is big on charm. Not only has it won Sunday Times Beach of the Year for its vast expanse of sand, but there are rockpools to explore, gardens to discover and a nice selection of
Whitby - The beautiful fishing town of Whitby is a wonderful place to visit with kids. Enjoy a boat trip, tuck into fish and chips and climb the steps up to Whitby Abbey. It’s a long way up but well worth the effort for stunning sea views from the ruins of this former monastery.
Scarborough - One of the most popular seaside resorts in the country, we love Scarborough’s charms. The bustling South Bay great for arcades and sandcastles, but the rugged, less busy North Bay worth a visit. Hire a pedalo at Peasholm Park and don’t miss Scarborough Castle (pack a kite!).
