Coastal fun in Scarborough

- Cayton Bay, just three miles from Scarborough, isn’t usually busy, so it makes a peaceful trip away from the campsite. It’s also a favourite with bird and wildlife watchers.
- Explore the Jurassic Coast and go fossil hunting! The Rotunda Museum is a great spot for learning all about the coastline.
