Is Scarborough the surfing capital of the North?

Surfing in Scarborough In Pictures

Over the past few years Scarborough has attracted a huge following of fans of the surf. A recent survey listed Cayton Bay, a few miles south of the town, as the second best in the country for great surfing conditions. The south bay here also provides some wonderful surfing and attracts surfers from far and wide. An amazing sight on a freezing day in the middle of winter is about 50 or 60 little black bodies bobbing up and down on colourful surfboards! As a consequence we now have our very own Surf Shop which is conveniently situated in the parade of shops down at the Spa. Well run by a group of friendly fellow surfers it provides all a surfer could wish for. We understand that surf lessons and equipment hire is also available.
