Overview
Bridlington is a faded but surviving Yorkshire seaside resort, a working fishing port with sandy beaches and a Victorian promenade. It's a cheaper, quieter alternative to crowded Scarborough and Filey further up the coast, with easy access to the spectacular chalk cliffs of Flamborough Head and day-trip options to York and the North York Moors.
