There’s something special about an open top bus. With the sun on your skin and the breeze in your hair, it’s surely the most fun way of getting around town. From the lofty height of the outdoor deck, the elevated view gives a wonderful perspective of place, as you sit back in comfort and ride on in style.
And there’s something special about Scarborough. With its dramatic coastline, seaside glitz and timeless charm, it’s one of the most popular places to visit in the UK. There’s no better town to tour on an open top bus than Scarborough; and there’s no better way to travel Scarborough than on an open top bus.
This summer, these two special things combine, as you can hop on the Beachcomber bus and be transported through Scarborough’s many attractions aboard the open top. Unlimited rides all day – costing only £7 for adults, £4.50 for children, or £16 for 4 people – mean you can be chauffeured to all your favourite parts of town and hop off at your leisure.
The route travels between Scarborough Railway Station and The Sands, a journey which shows you the glory of Scarborough from the greatest vantage point. Overlooking the glorious North Sea, taking in the seaside scenes, and watching the people going about the beaches and arcades, the fish and chips and ice creams, and all the quintessential experiences of Scarborough.
Stops include: the Grand Hotel, a famous old building which evokes Scarborough’s rich history and ritzy glamour; St Nicholas Gardens, a lovely area of nature which connects the town centre to the South Beach; West Pier, beside the beach and amongst the action on the South Bay promenade; and The Sands, at the relaxing North Bay and near to the many attractions up there.
Along the way, you might want to visit the stunning sites of Scarborough Castle or Peasholm Park, you might choose your beach between the vibrant South or the laid back North, you might join in the endless entertainment of amusements and activities, and you might stop for food and drink from the countless cafes, chippies, restaurants and pubs…
Whatever you choose to do, and wherever you want to go, the open top bus will take you there with an experience that’s as fun and memorable as your day out in Scarborough.
