One place that's well worth visiting is the popular seaside town of Scarborough, found around a 40-minute drive south of Whitby. Known for its sandy beaches and traditional seaside charm, this bustling town has long been a favourite destination for holidaymakers from across the country.

Whilst here, we'd highly recommend spending some time at South Bay Beach, where you'll find traditional seaside attractions, amusement arcades and plenty of places to eat and drink. If you have the time, be sure to explore the impressive Scarborough Castle or take a wander through Peasholm Park, found just a stone's throw away from North Bay Beach.
