Boasting two long sandy beaches less than 10 minutes’ walk from the store, amusement arcades, restaurants and bars and a pretty fishing harbour. A visit to the Sea life centre and a hike to Scarborough castle ruins which overlooks the town are musts when visiting the coast. There are excellent transport links; a railway station 10 minutes’ walk from the store where a train will take you to York in about an hour and London in roughly 3 hours.
