East Harbour
East Harbour sits on the southern side of Scarborough's iconic twin-harbour system, tucked beneath the dramatic clifftop ruins of Scarborough Castle. It's a working harbour with real character, where fishing boats and leisure craft share the same sheltered water. The old town, with its fish-and-chip shops and independent cafés, is a short walk up the hill from the quayside.
