The Neighborhood:
There are a number of beaches for you to choose from in Scarborough. The popular South Bay is a sun trap and close to the hustle and bustle of the town centre. North Bay has been accredited with Blue Flag status meaning it’s one of the best beaches in Europe!

Ideal for all weathers, there are lots of indoor attractions in Scarborough for the whole family.

If it’s outdoor fun you’re looking for, The Open Air Theatre is a popular spot for locals and tourists alike, here you can see amazing bands, singers and comedians. The Sky Trail Adventure and Peasholm Park is perfect for all ages.

Great stay in Scarborough

Lovely modern apartment in great, bustling part of Scarborough, everything is literally on your doorstep. The place was modern and clean. It did miss some of the personal touches that can make a place feel welcoming on arrival however (including no batteries in the tv remote and no handsoap in the bathroom) but overall it was a really nice place to stay. There is also a hidden drawer in the kitchen with all the cutlery in which we were unaware of, which created an element of panic on the first night having made dinner! The lovely locals were able to advise us of the infamous hidden drawer though thankfully.
