As well as this there are plenty of places to eat and drink, many of which offer spectacular views out to sea.

The seafront’s amusements, cafés and theatres are active and regularly play host to lots of events that help ensure that the community isn’t short of things to do. Every September for instance the Scarborough Jazz Festival engages the community at the Spa, while the annual Seafest Maritime Festival entertains over at the harbour.

Just a short journey inland is the North York Moors National Park, which is famous for its wildlife, walks and impressive scenery. To the south of Scarborough is the Bempton Cliffs Nature Reserve, a seabird centre which overlooks the nesting cliffs for up to half a million seabirds each year.

The historic seaside town of Whitby is famed for its iconic Abbey and literary significance – it being the location that inspired Bram Stoker to write his famous novel ‘Dracula’.
