Scarborough South Bay & North Bay about 1.30pm Bank Holiday Monday!
Monday 31st August 2015
What a difference a day makes. Yesterday on the coast there were crowds of people - then the rain came. The tide times were almost perfect today, giving the maximum amount of beach space for the holiday makers to enjoy. The last Bank Holiday of the year and make or break time for some seafront businesses. Heavy rain is not what was needed. As I drove across from Driffield at lunchtime, there was a huge queue of traffic on the A64 near Staxton, not going to the coast, but coming from it - on their way home. The first shot I took was the bottom one, at North Bay; it was drizzling, with only a few hardy souls on the beach. Then onto the South Bay; by this time it really was raining fast. This beach should have been crowded with people, instead it was empty, wet and grey. Will they be back next year? Only time will tell. Being a Scarborian, you know it's the natural beauty of the place (not counting the town centre!), that keeps them coming back.
