Early morning image of the empty beach with a fantastic sky. #scarborough #scarboroughlife
Beautiful view of the Yorkshire coast. Scarborough is quite hilly so the easiest way to get from the town to the beach is with one of the tramways and you get rewarded with amazing views. Once a water powered funicular railway the South Cliff lift is now electric and costs a couple of pounds. #WeekendGetaway #YorkshireDay
