Scarborough Attractions 
The famous resort of Scarborough (pop. 45,500) owes its name of "Queen of the Yorkshire Coast" to its beautiful sandy beaches. It has been the leading seaside resort in the north of England since 1734, and still preserves its Victorian character. It is well supplied with parks and gardens, cafes and entertainment of all kinds.
Scarborough has a North and South Bay, the South Bay is more popular for entertainment and shopping. The North Bay is connected to the South by a Victorian promenade.
