Scarborough North Bay, Scarborough

Scarborough North Bay is a large sandy family beach on the coast of North Yorkshire, this is a very popular beach during the summer months and a visit is highly recommended. The facilities, located on the northern part of the beach front, are excellent, having been recently upgraded by Scarborough council. The beach front stretches from the Sea Life Centre in the north to the Castle mound. There is a designated water sports area and an area for bathing manned by lifeguards during the summer months. To the North, near the Sea life centre there is a large area of rockpools, though care needs to be taken with their exploration as the seawall prevents a quick escape should the tide come in.

The beach is cleaned regularly during the bathing season and there are litter bins on the beach. There are also dog bins on the beach and a dog walking area. Dogs are not allowed on the north half of the beach.

Parking is at least a 5 minute walk away from the beach so be prepared to carry all your beach gear.

The waters at Scarborough North Bay are Blue Flag rated and superb for bathing in.
