Royal Hotel Scarborough

Commonly regarded as the UK’s first seaside resort, Scarborough has a population of over 50,000 and is the largest holiday resort on the Yorkshire coast providing a wide selection of quality hotels – a great choice for a UK holiday or short break.

One of the town’s most striking features is its rocky headland, on top of which sits the 11th century ruins of Scarborough Castle, which was bombarded by the German warships in the First World War. Jutting out eastward into the North Sea, the headland splits Scarborough’s two sandy beaches, North Bay and South Bay, which are linked by Marine Drive, an extensive Victorian promenade, built around the base of the headland. Both bays have a wide range of local attractions, popular sandy beaches and numerous rock-pools at low tide.
