• Walk to St Nicholas Gardens to enjoy the view before hopping back on at Bland’s Cliff

A short walk takes you to St Nicholas Gardens, a beautifully presented area of plants and trees which connects the town centre to the South Beach. It’s a lovely place to sit on one of the well placed benches and take in the coastal scene below, with paths and steps to meander down to the seafront.

• Ride from Bland’s Cliff all the way to The Sands, then a short walk to the Scarborough North Bay Railway

Take a seat on the open top to experience Scarborough’s glorious coastline, travelling from the South Bay to the North Bay. Within a few minutes of alighting you’re at Scarborough North Bay Railway – this is Britain’s biggest miniature railway and provides plenty to do. As well as riding behind historic locomotives, there’s a sky trail, a water chute, a boats & balls lake, and a snack shack.

• Once you’ve checked this out, walk back towards the same stop for lunch at Taylor’s Bar and Kitchen

Amongst the relaxing places to stop off next to the North Bay Beach, Taylor’s Bar and Kitchen stands out for its outdoor courtyard with breathtaking views. Indoors ain’t bad either, and wherever you manage to grab a table, you’ll be satisfied by a lunch menu of favourites, from light bites and wraps to burgers and pizzas, and of course fish & chips. And a wide range of soft drinks or booze keeps everyone refreshed for your afternoon ahead.

• Walk along the beach to get to Scarborough Castle

Time to step on the Scarborough sand, perhaps stop to play in the sea or relax on the beach, before strolling a stretch towards Scarborough Castle. The castle is a distinctive sight overlooking the town, and the view is even better when you reach it. The ancient ruins are surrounded by nature, and it’s well worth stretching your legs before resting your legs back on the Beachcomber.

• Spend the rest of the day on Scarborough beach

Scarborough’s South Bay Beach contains all the seaside favourites. A vibrant promenade is filled with visitors enjoying amusement arcades and fish & chips, whilst the sandy beach attracts all-comers. As iconic as it is popular, lay back on the sands, brave the North Sea, and immerse yourself in a day at Scarborough beach.

• Get back on the bus at West Pier until the Newcastle Packet stop

The Beachcomber travels along the south promenade, so you can take in the fun from the open top deck, before hopping off to experience it some more. There are a selection of pubs along here too, so if you fancy treating yourself to a drink, the Newcastle Packet is right beside a Beachcomber stop.

• Grab fish and chips at Winking Willy’s then ice cream at Alonzi’s then jump back on to Scarborough train station

When in Scarborough, fish & chips are a must-eat. There are plenty of places to choose from, especially in this part of town, from eat-in restaurants to tasty takeaways. Winking Willy’s offers both options, as the famous fish shop and cafe fries up the good stuff to scoff on indoors or out. Finish off with a sweet treat only a few doors down, where Alonzi’s tempts us in with its fun retro look and keeps us here with their amazing ice cream. Full of food, you’ll be grateful for the Beachcomber to bus you back to Scarborough train station.
