Your little base for a big beach day.
Scarborough gives you two different beach moods in one town. South Bay is the classic seaside version with harbour views, amusements and chalets by the sand. North Bay is more open, more water-sports focused, and a bit less full-on. Put the two together and it becomes one of the stronger beach-chalet towns on the Yorkshire coast.

Day hire — a base for the day
Weekly hire — make it your holiday spot
Seasonal hire — return through the season
Hire periods and minimum stays vary by hut.Scarborough has more than one way into the market. North Yorkshire Council's beach chalet service includes South Bay, with weekly, annual, seasonal and winter lets, and in some cases daily lets. North Bay chalets are also available privately for sale or hire, with options ranging from standard units to larger two-storey chalets.
South Bay is the council-run chalet side and suits people who want the classic resort atmosphere close to the harbour and main seafront. North Bay has its own chalet line on the promenade and feels more open and activity-led, with easier access to surfing, rock pools and the attractions around Peasholm and the Open Air Theatre.
North Bay’s colourful chalets line the promenade near the beach, with Peasholm Park, the North Bay Railway and SEA LIFE among the nearby attractions. Book through Scarborough Beach Chalets.
South Bay combines the beach, harbour and traditional seafront attractions. North Yorkshire Council offers original and newer chalet categories here.
Scarborough works because it is not one-note. South Bay is the classic resort face of the town, with harbour activity, fish and chips, arcades, cafés and the full seaside backdrop. It is busy, but that is part of the point. If you want the old-school holiday feel, this is where you get it.
North Bay changes the pace. It is sandier, less arcade-heavy and better if you want more sea and less chatter. There are rainbow chalets along the promenade, room for surfers and rock-poolers, and easy links to Peasholm Park, the Open Air Theatre and the North Bay Railway. Together, the two bays give Scarborough more range than most towns manage.

Check the facilities near your hut.
Bring a picnic or explore nearby cafés.
South Bay is the strongest for full-on seaside convenience, with lifeguards in season, nearby restaurants, ice cream parlours, harbour activity, car parking and new shower and changing facilities planned on Foreshore Road. North Bay adds lifeguards, paid toilets, parking close to the promenade and easy access to the railway, Peasholm Park, Sea Life and the Open Air Theatre.
Scarborough is mixed in summer rather than fully open. From 1 May to 30 September, dogs are banned on parts of both South Bay and North Bay. On South Bay, the restricted section runs from the West Pier to the steps near the southern end by the underground car park. On North Bay, the ban covers the main central stretch between the Sands and the northernmost slipway by the chalet run. Outside those areas, there is still usable beach, so summer dog access is possible if you pick your spot.
