What to do in Scarborough Beach? Are there any attractions or entertainments in region?

For those who wish to engage in something more extreme than a lazy holiday on the beach, it is worth noting that Scarborough Beach is excellent for surfing. This kind of activity is suitable for beginners and for professionals. The waves in this region you can see in the photos above or study the reviews by our users. And by the way, on the beach you can take surfing coaches!

Extremes can be moderate or excessive, so if you are a fan of the first type, than Scarborough Beach welcomes you, offering kite and windsurfing. If on the contrary, it is not your kind of activity, we recommend you to find another beach, since the presence of lots of kite surfers on water can have a negative impact on the comfort of your leisure.

The beach is fantastic! There is always something happening, no matter the time of year. From winter markets to summer dance nights, there's never a dull moment. It's perfect for families, with amenities like toilets, playgrounds, and plenty of food choices. Additionally, it's a great spot for a night out. It can get quite crowded, but the early birds will have a blast!

We frequented this beach the most on our trip, as it is conveniently located near CC sister kid's school. It's a great spot for us to relax and pass the time between drop off and pick up. The beach itself is stunning and spacious. Each time we visited, we parked in different areas and got to experience the various, yet equally beautiful, sides of Scarborough Beach (I must admit, pronouncing the name correctly was a bit challenging at first!).

This beach is a fantastic place to unwind after a long day, whether you're alone or with loved ones. The well-maintained grassy area is perfect for this occasion, with its beautiful landscaping and lush turf. There are also great bars and cafes nearby where you can grab a bite to eat or enjoy a relaxing afternoon. If you're in the area, this is definitely something you should experience. I had the pleasure of witnessing an incredible sunset over the Indian Ocean for the first time. Highly recommended!
