Welcome to Scarborough Guide - Your local look at the yorkshire coast

If you're planning a trip to Scarborough, or you're lucky enough to live here and want to explore more of what the town has to offer, you're in the right place. Scarborough Guide is your go-to source for discovering the very best of our seaside town – from must-see attractions to hidden local favourites you won’t find in most tourist brochures.

What makes us different? We’re written by locals. We live here, we love it here, and we want to share what makes Scarborough so special. That means we’re not just showing you the obvious hotspots – we’re letting you in on the secret places we visit again and again. The tucked-away cafés, quiet beach walks, welcoming pubs, family-run shops, and breathtaking views that never make the headlines but always make your day.

We’ve got a wide range of guides to help you plan your time here:

• Dog-friendly Scarborough: Beaches, walks, cafés and more where your four-legged friend is welcome.

• Vegan and veggie eats: The best spots for plant-based food in town.

• Accessible Scarborough: Information on accessible venues, toilets, parking and routes.

• What’s on: Stay updated with Scarborough’s events, festivals, gigs and local happenings.

• Local favourites: The places we really go when we want great food, a peaceful walk, or a special day out.

Whether you're here for a day trip, a summer holiday, or just curious about what’s beyond the castle and beach, we’re here to help you explore Scarborough like a local.
