Good seafood, clean and pleasant. Interesting to see how the names had been given to the area. Morgan’s seafood is great.

We need few places with imported names but more places with names in local language. Rename it in local language. They also got rid of centuries old trees here as they tried to make this smelly beach look like a European one.

This is a nice place by the water. It is pleasant view but could do with more trees that provide shade.

The easy parking and wheelchair access was wonderful,a big beautiful tree, every branch lit up ,paved the way to Scarborough beach and the magical Gollum tree, hard to find at first, and I would recommend taking a torch but the whole trip was ful of little surprises

A nice, non-busy beach that appears to not be takne advantage of by the locals. Parking is available, free and shaded in parts. Highly recommend a stop, and then visit FinFresh over the road for some truly delightful fish and chips. We had a great time as a small young family

Visitors are often amazed at the beauty of this place featuring a curving sandy beach lined with magnificent Norfolk pine trees. A safe swimming beach with no currents, better at high tide but still accessible at low tide. At low tide, the character of the beach radically changes with the beach framed by emerging reefs; a fascinating world for children to explore as long as they are aware of the potential dangers of the blue ring octopus.
The park is very well equipped for families with young children with a safe, fenced off entertainment area including free barbecues. Shade is provided by several grand, sprawling, Cotton trees. Plenty of space for families to enjoy the park. Limited shade in the open area. A half basket ball court for those who choose some exercise. A good array of restaurants/coffee shops and a general store just over the road.

Wonderful to have a local beach to take our dog to socialise and swim. The beach area is big enough that it is never crowded.

Scarborough Beach Park offers fantastic facilities for families. With a recent upgrade to the walkways so people are not walking on top of each other, a jumping pillow for the young, BBQ,s everywhere and covered tables to keep the sun off when dining. A great park for kids with the usual swings, climbing trees and many other attractions to keep them busy.

I need a place for my grandson to play
Scarborough Park is excellent as it has these fantastic large trees to climb
I took a book and sat under the trees on a bench so the children could have regular contact with me
My granddaughter is older so had no trouble in climbing
There is a play area for younger children next to this spot
It kept him entertained for ages
I took water and snacks although there are shops right across with a good marked crossing for easy access
Toilets pretty close by and the ocean right there
So we did do a beach walk to collect shells
Not a lot of parking as it was the weekend
So get there early
Bar-B-Ques and shelter sheds for those who want a family gathering
It’s very popular with all ages
The afternoon is always breezy as the sea air is whipped up
It’s a long way to go but I think worth the effort!!
