MenuScarborough, Yorkshire
Scarborough is a seaside resort town in Yorkshire, in the North Riding. A high rocky headland points eastward into the North Sea. The headland supports the 11th century ruins of Scarborough Castle and separates the sea front into a North Bay and a South Bay. The South Bay was the site of the original early mediæval town and the harbour, now known as the "Old Town". The South Bay is the main focus for tourism, with a sandy beach, cafés, amusements, arcades, theatres and entertainment facilities. The North Bay, traditionally the more peaceful end of the resort, is linked to the South Bay by the Marine Drive, an extensive Victorian promenade. The town is within the council area of North Yorkshire.
