👍👍 WOW, this is a great beach. Its a little walk if you park in the car parks at the shops but their is a car park next to the beach if thats what you've come for. but it's well worth a visit. Very clean and the sand is so soft. A nice cafe before you enter the beach selling all what you need.

👍👍 Very active beach this morning. Great open area to visit for the day, have a walk or take the dogs. We brought a coffee and enjoyed the view. Limited Paid parking available using coin, card or by App. Toilet facilities on the beach as well.

👍👍 First time in Scarborough visiting N Yorkshire, the weather wasn't great but that doesn't take away from the fact that this is a beautiful, quiet little beach with a lovely walk along the front. The beach itself looks very clean, cute little colourful huts line the front promenade and there is a lit...

👍👍 Beautiful place, worth visiting. Parking nearby is quite expensive.

👍👍 Beautiful beach, parking on top, as well as along the old coast road where you can park for free. Need t arrive pretty early to get a decent spot to park, just a short walk down to the beach. Not many amenities, such as toilets etc, so be aware before arriving. Lots of walks in the area especially f...

👍 Nice place for a walk. Few good coffee shops, amazing ice cream by the pier. Do have a bit of the sand further on the right from the pier too. Some attractions for toddlers and gaming machines for even adults. You can find free parking near by too.

Ice cream & fish ’n‘ chips on a seaside promenade beside a long beach known for rock pools.

👍👍 Can't explain why this is such a magnetic place...it draws us back year after year. Maybe it's the ice cream, maybe it's the quaint fishing boats, maybe it's the sound of the waves striking the pebble beach....but probably cos its a British seaside town without a games arcade or noisy people. Perfec...

👍👍 A steeply tiered pebble beach away from the throng of Barry Island which links to the beach of Porthkerry Park. Great for dog walkers and fossil hunters. The Jurassic cliffs are known for rock falls so be vigilant. The knap car park has plenty of spaces and a small male/female toilet block. Also ha...

👍👍 Beautiful quiet beach. Lovely sandy beach for the kids to play. Full of people enjoying watersports too

👍👍 We often go to Seaford for a walk along the fantastic promenade, find a seat up the hill at the end for a snack, and enjoy the stunning views back towards Newhaven. The promenade is long, wide and level, (like you find in Spain!), and is dotted with occasional cafés and little shack-shops selling in...

👍👍 Beautiful beach. We come here often. Ice cream van often at the end of the road... A lovely fish and chippy and cafe. A pub. And NO amusements!

👍👍 The particular part of the coastline is spectacular. Stunning place and even on what should have been a full house on the seaside, there was ample enough space to not feel like another number. There was a convenient tesco nearby for snacks and drinks during the day with a conveniently located toilet...

👍👍 Filey beach is beautiful, clean,solid sand. Fantastic for long walks, designated areas for dogs . Life guard on site in summer months. Plenty of coffee/tea ice cream and food outlets available from early on in the morning.
