Getting around is easy with regular buses connecting neighbourhoods, and taxis are plentiful and reliable.

Things to Do in Scarborough
Start your day with a peaceful walk along the North Bay promenade. The gentle sea breeze and seagulls overhead give the morning a calm and uplifting feel. For a change of scene, head to Peasholm Park, a flat, water-filled green space that’s perfect for easy walking or sitting and watching the ducks glide by.
Scarborough hosts events that appeal to retirees throughout the year. The Scarborough Folk Week in July brings live music and leisurely social gatherings by the sea. In August, Scarborough Open Air Theatre offers daytime concerts in a beautiful shaded venue.
During winter and early spring, indoor events such as illustrated talks at the Spa Theatre or weekly tea mornings at local churches combine art, music, and friendly company.
Your days don’t have to be busy or tiring to feel full. Scarborough Castle has level paths and benches with sea views, making it easy to visit and enjoy. Stephen Joseph Theatre, with its daytime matinees, brings thoughtful plays to a small stage. And for a slower pace, visit the Rotunda Museum, where exhibits on geology and local history are laid out with easy access in mind.
Scarborough’s transport links open up nearby towns for gentle day trips. A short bus ride takes you south to Whitby, where peaceful pier walks and the Abbey provide a calm setting. Bridlington, about 25 minutes away, offers easy coastal paths and a welcoming beach promenade.
Even Pickering, with its heritage steam railway and market square, is reachable by train, offering a slow-paced excursion with a touch of nostalgia.
