What to Do in Scarborough

Where do we begin? As we mentioned, Scarborough is the quintessential UK resort, offering all the seaside attractions tourists could hope for. If you’re looking for some inspiration on how to spend your free time, however, let us help you out:


  • Visit the South Bay: Decorated with arcades, ice cream stands, fish and chip shops, and more, Scarborough’s South Bay is exactly what one would expect from a UK coastal town. So, take a walk along the beach or promenade and allow yourself to be enticed by their many waterfront attractions.


  • Head to the North Bay: If your perfect beach is on the more tranquil side, we recommend relaxing by the North Bay. This stretch of the coastline is much quieter and the perfect place to sit down with an ice cream and a book.

 

  • Scarborough Castle: If you’re typically drawn to historic sites and royal coach trips, you’ll probably love the idea of visiting Scarborough Castle. With viewing platforms and a Great Tower to explore, this iconic landmark offers guests a different look at Scarborough.

 

  • SEA LIFE: If you’re looking for a fascinating attraction like no other, SEA LIFE promises a look at creatures that you would typically find much further out than the coastline. 

 

  • The Cleveland Way: Hiking, nature, and birdwatching fanatics should spend some time exploring the Cleveland Way in Scarborough. Stretching for 109 miles, these cliff paths offer walkers beautiful views across the horizon and Scarborough itself.

 

  • Visit The Scarborough Spa: An entertainment venue showing a wide selection of shows and performances, the Scarborough Spa is a must visit for those fond of theatre coach trips. With comedies, musicals, and dramas, this spot has something for everyone.

Where to Stay in Scarborough

When joining Alfa Holidays on a trip to Scarborough, you’ll stay at the stunning Cumberland Hotel, Scarborough. Sitting on Scarborough’s south cliff, the Cumberland Hotel is just a few minutes’ walk away from the town centre, spa complex, and beach front, making it the ideal base for your holiday on the Yorkshire coast.

 

During your stay, you’ll have access to both full English and continental breakfasts every morning, served in the hotel’s spacious restaurant. After a day of thrilling excursions and getting to know the Queen of the Yorkshire coast a little better, you can return for a three course meal of British favourites. 

 

Your night doesn’t have to end there, however. The Cumberland also has a large bar and dancefloor area – a space where you can dance the night away with your fellow holidaymakers before getting cosy in bed.
