Description
Hidden on the North Yorkshire Coastline, Bridlington is an award-winning traditional seaside resort. Boasting two sandy beaches either side of the historic harbour and award-winning promenades, this is a true seaside gem. The harbour is a hive of activity with colourful fishing boats, pleasure cruises along the heritage coast and speedboat rides across the bay. Head away from the promenade and you will discover the 'old town' which has remained largely untouched and is home to delightful Olde Worlde pubs, antique shops and the 'Old Town Trail'.
