After a surf or a fossil hunt within easy reach of Scarborough? Cayton Bay is a wide, sandy beach a few miles south of town, backed by soft, crumbling cliffs that keep turning up fossils. It’s one of the more reliable surf spots on this coast and stays busy with dog walkers out of season. Seamer station is about 3km inland to the west, or it’s a short drive down off the main road.
