With some great day trip options in the surrounding area, having your own car makes good sense. Without one, it wouldn’t be half as easy to experience all that South Beach, 60 miles away, has to offer. Soak up the sights beginning with The Spa Bridlington, Bempton Cliffs and Bridlington Harbour. Locals will also likely point you in the direction of Pebble Beach, 40 miles away. If you can only see one thing here, make sure it’s Fountains Abbey. (But we’d also recommend Lightwater Valley Theme Park and Newby Hall and Gardens.)
