What is the Bridlington park and ride?

Bridlington park and ride is situated approximately a mile to the south of Bridlington resort at South Cliff car park. Whilst this car park gives direct access to the beach and other facilities it also provides a Park and Ride service, operating throughout the summer until the end of September.

The seasonal complimentary link to the town centre on the Spalight Explorer Coach is available to all persons....... The Land Train service will not be operating on South Promenade until further notice due to works being carried out by Yorkshire Water

How far from the beach is the park and ride?

Access to the beach in some cases is less than 50 metres from the park and ride. The type of access varies, and there are some steps at several locations, some via the dunes.

Can we just hop on the bus?

Yes, once you have paid £3.50 to park, up to seven persons (including the driver) can travel and return on the transport from town. You can travel at anytime that day, e.g. you can visit the beach first or walk the beach into town and catch the transport back or vice versa.

If you want to split up as a group, some go shopping whist others play on the beach, then get your tickets to ride from the coach first.
