Scarborough Beach Huts, Victorian beach structures in South Bay, England.
The Scarborough Beach Huts are colorful wooden structures arranged in neat rows along South Cliff, offering shelter and changing facilities for beachgoers in South Bay. The row extends from the southern section of the bay toward the Spa complex nearby.
These huts were built just before World War One as evidence of early 20th-century seaside leisure. They received Grade II listed building status in 2008 to protect their historic value.
The colorful huts serve as gathering places where families spend their beach days following seaside customs that remain popular in Britain. Their location along South Cliff has made them a social hub for repeat visitors and holiday traditions.
You can rent these huts through North Yorkshire Council for daily, weekly, or annual use near the Spa complex. Check the council's website ahead of your visit to understand current availability and rental terms.
In 2018, eleven of these structures underwent a substantial restoration project that preserved their Edwardian design while adding modern improvements. The work demonstrates how historic preservation and contemporary comfort can exist side by side.
