According to Airbnb, the UK’s top trending staycation destination is Scarborough, one of Yorkshire’s favourite seaside towns.
From dramatic cliffside walks to award-winning beaches, it’s not hard to see why the resort town is so popular.
Scarborough Beach is one of the town’s top rated attractions and tourists will be conveniently placed for access to its best fish and chip shops.
A tourist wrote on Tripadvisor: “Scarborough beach was a perfect find for us and our dog who loves to run and play in the sea.
“It is a lovely, clean, sandy beach which welcomes dogs out of season. There are some rock pools at the far side to explore.”
Another tourist said: “Fantastic beach with great views of Scarborough. Plenty of food places, arcades, shops.”
Scarborough has more to offer than beaches and tourists can also spend time wandering the streets of the Old Town.
At the Rotunda Museum, tourists will be able to see fossils and learn about the creatures that used to inhabit the area.
