One side of my family live in Scarborough so I have visited often all my life and come to know the best parts very well. The seafront engages the history of the town and combines it with the modern touristy approach. Its beautiful long beaches are ideal to take the family for a walk in the winter or picnic and donkey ride in the summer. The shoreline is laden with shops and restaurants which although have been there for many years provide a modern twist to the vintage town.
Harbour Bar is one these as seems to have been there forever yet keeps up with modern expectations and preferances. It fits in perfectly next to the harbour - selling ice creams at excellent prices. The quality of the icecream is a lot better than what you'd find in a bog standard ice cream van. The service isn't amazing yet it doesn't seem to matter as its very prompt and sooner or later you are enjoying your '99 strolling by the lifeboat station. In the winter when the weather isn't at its best you can always sit in and order something warm either a hot drink or hot food if ice cream isn't your fancy on a cold day!
It's clean and modern yet represents the beauty of the town of Scarborough - definately recommended for all the family!
