With the holiday season just around the corner, Holafly has conducted a new study to identify the most picturesque seaside towns in the UK. Their data revealed that Scarborough takes second place overall with over 2.5 million hashtags across Instagram and TikTok!
If you visit this town, be sure to go see the Scarborough Castle, which dates back to the Bronze Age. It has plenty of viewing platforms within the Inner Bailey and the Great Tower, where you’ll be able to see over the town, harbour, and the bay. You can also enjoy an afternoon in Peasholm Park, with its beautiful streams, oriental-style bridges, mini waterfalls and wildlife.
“England certainly stands out as the top destination in the UK, being home to nine out of the top ten most picturesque seaside towns. Two of these charming spots are located in North Yorkshire, including Scarborough and Whitby. From scenic walks to historic harbours, a visit to the gardens, or a day on the beach, there’s something for everyone to enjoy,” says Brenda Beltrán, travel writer at Holafly.
