Saturday

Take an open top bus round to the South bay along the coast line with stunning views, remeber to buy a return ticket if you wish to come back on the bus as this is cheaper. If the bus isn’t for you then you can still walk the route to the South bay as there is a wide flat promenade, hwoever be aware this may take twenty to thirty minutes. On the way to the bay there is a skate park and dirt track perfect for the children to burn of some of that energy. One area to look out for is the spa complex as it has some great shows on during the day and early evening. Be sure to visit the funfair and arcades as im sure this will keep the family busyfor hours. However, if the hustle and  bustle isn’t for you then why not take a fishing trip or a spin out on the rocket speed boat.

If you want to stay on the North bay there is plenty of coast for a gentle stroll. Take a walk to Peasholme Park with it’s beautiful boating lake, squirrels and birds. Here you will also be able to a ride on the miniture railway and treat yourself to a snack at the new Glass House Bistro all within a two minute walk.

Scarborough

Saturday evening

The town is a ten minute walk away which offers an array of world cuisines. Florios is a keen family favourite, where the service is good, portions are big and the price is reasonable. All this is topped off by a friendly atmosphere. As you head back to the apartment make a stop at the North Riding Hotel where you will be able to sample some of the finist real ales. It also serves good food and the bar has sky sports, pool table, juke box and quiz machine. Did we mention that children are welcome too.

Sunday morning & early afternoon

Why not start the day off with a stroll further round the North bay towards the Sea Life Centre. There are allways leaflets around offering reduced entrance fees so be sure to keep your eyes open. For the more adventurous of you, you can continue your walk along the cliffs past the Scalby Mills Pub, but be sure to be careful. If you don’t fancy a walk you could allways opt for indoor bowling at the Scarborough Bowling Centre which is only a five minute walk away. You can play indoor or outdoor at very reasonable prices with a family of 4 looking at paying no more than ten pouns for an hour.
