Scarborough's safe, sandy beaches of the North and South Bays are broken by a rocky headland on which stands a reminder of the past Scarboroughs medieval castle. At its foot is the harbour where the boats still land their catch.
Safe beaches, clifftops and a busy shopping centre stand only yards apart and are all reached by the famous Victorian cliff lifts. In fact, those same Victorians left a town of immense style with some of the finest parks and gardens in Britain, the elegant Esplanade and the magnificent Scarborough Spa Complex.
When it comes to entertainment theres something for everyone here in Scarborough, by day or night. Attractions include traditional Punch and Judy shows, donkey rides and seafront amusements. Night time spectaculars in the resort's theatre might feature top stars and the only remaining seaside orchestra the Spa Orchestra.
