Costs for Marine Drive, Scarborough (1 Viewer)

[KirkViv]

I've recently enjoyed my 2nd motorhome trip staying just outside Scarborough and noted that motorhomes/campers etc were parking overnight on Marine Drive - many had to park sideways over 2 or 3 parking bays - I know it's £9 for 24 hours but does anyone know if you have to pay £9 x 2 if you park over 2 bays like I'd need to do with my 7.5m van? TIA

From an earlier post

Marine Drive is subject to a SBC order which prohibits waiting/parking by motor caravans between 11pm and 7am. That order applies to all SBC car parks including, as John says, the Sea Life Centre (officially named Scalby Mills car park).

Scarborough Marine Drive O/n parking question

Am I right in thinking MHs can now park on the front at Scarborough now? Want a night away with the Grandson this weekend, but only have Sat night available and it is easy to get to from Bradford on Sat dinner time after, the dreaded WORK!

Just back from here although the council are trialing it they have not removed the big rocks that prevent anything longer than a car fitting in a bay. Some rocks have been pushed away so you can get your overhang over the grass. But speaking to some of the local van owners the council come along every so often with a grab and replace the rocks and are thinking or replacing them with a steel rail that can't be removed. So I would say they are tolerating vans but are not happy about it. You can of course park across bays and purchase multiple tickets or park in the few sideways bays on the hill. We used the ringo app and never seen a warden but was out from 10am to after 6pm.Leaving this morning peasholm park had flooded and caused the 2 roundabouts and corner of the seafront to become rather wet boy racers are still a problem but the rain kept it quiet last night although a beeper went past twice early hours, locals tell me its a taxi driver.
