Pickering and its attractions for beach lovers
While Pickering itself isn't known for beaches, it's a charming gateway to beautiful coastal areas like Scarborough and Whitby, each less than an hour's drive away. Scarborough boasts sandy stretches like North Bay, perfect for a family day out with opportunities for beach games and ice cream stalls lining the promenade. The historic Scarborough Castle overlooks the sea, offering a fascinating glimpse into the past along with stunning views. Whitby, famous for its picturesque harbor and the iconic Whitby Abbey, is a delightful spot for beach lovers; you can explore the charming cobbled streets before unwinding on the beach with a classic fish and chips in hand. If you seek adventure, the dramatic cliffs of the Yorkshire coastline provide excellent hiking trails with breathtaking sea views. For a convenient stay, consider hotels that offer easy access to these coastal highlights, where attentive service and comfortable accommodations ensure you and your family feel pampered while you explore the rich history and natural beauty of the area.
