Scarborough

As the country’s first seaside resort, Scarborough is an excellent place for a family holiday with two sheltered bays of golden sand.

Historical gems such as Scarborough’s medieval castle and the redeveloped Rotunda Museum, full of fascinating facts about geology and the ground beneath our feet, provide an important link to the past and a stroll along the Dinosaur Coast with its fossils and dinosaur footprints is an unforgettable experience.

The town’s award winning parks and gardens provide a perfect place for a stroll or for the more adventurous, why not take to the waves on a surf board or sail boat to take in a different view of the dramatic coastline.

Day or night, a lively programme of events, festivals and entertainment are on offer in venues like the beautiful Victorian Spa complex home to the country’s only remaining seaside orchestra and playwright Alan Ayckbourn’s renowned Stephen Joseph Theatre. A family-friendly shopping centre provides all your usual high-street favourites along with some unique boutiques and craft shops for that perfect holiday memento.

Scarborough has plenty to tickle your taste buds too from the traditional seaside fare of mouth-watering fish and chips and delicious ice-cream to chic waterfront bistros and welcoming restaurants offering food from around the world.
