With some great road trip options in the surrounding area, having your own car makes sense. Without one, it wouldn’t be half as easy to explore all that South Beach, 55 miles away, has to offer. The Spa Bridlington, Bempton Cliffs and Bridlington Harbour alone make the drive out worthwhile. Situated 45 miles away, Pebble Beach is another popular destination. If you swing by, make sure you check out Fountains Abbey, Lightwater Valley Theme Park and Newby Hall and Gardens.
