Scarborough is known for having some of the best beaches in the country, with a mixture of soft sand and tidal hard sand. Whether you feel like relaxing at a seafront cafe or exploring some of Scarborough’s stunning rock pools, Scarborough’s beaches are a great way to get a dose of sun (hopefully), sea and sand here in the UK.

Head down to South Bay beach, one of Scarborough’s busiest beaches, and enjoy the fine, soft sand and calm bathing water sheltered by Castle Headland.

If you’re looking for something a little more rugged, North Bay is a great option, thanks to the rock pooling, brightly coloured beach huts and plenty of opportunities for surfing.
