Scarborough South Bay

Scarborough South Bay packs a punch in the battle of the seafront in Scarborough, creating the quintessential British seaside resort experience. Scarborough boasts two sandy beaches, and the South Bay boasts a beach, pier, and harbour, with all the British seaside charm.

At one end, you will find the pier and lighthouse with "The Tunny Catch" and "Bathing Belle" sculptures which create fantastic photo ops.

As you walk down from the northern point of South Bay, passing the dazzling lights and sounds of the amusements, you can find fantastic eateries, pubs, and bars - you really will be spoilt for choice.

When walking down the seafront, don't forget to "look up". The grandness of the old Grand Hotel, steeped in world war history, casts a dominating shadow.

The Spa bridge casts an ethereal glow against the ruggedness of the roads, and The Spa in the distance is a nod to the classic elegance of the Victorian era when open-air orchestras would be a common occurrence.

No matter what type of experience you are looking for, whether it runs along the beach, or too lazy beach picnics, this is a very inclusive destination.

Like North Bay, there are thrilling activities like speedboat rides. Still, we recommend that foodies check out the seafront stalls and harbour for a taste of the local daily catch.
