What is the Bridlington Park & Ride?

Bridlington Park & Ride is situated approximately a mile to the south of Bridlington resort at South Cliff car park.

This car park gives direct access to the beach and other facilities and provides a park and ride service, operating throughout the summer until the end of October.

Please note: that at certain times, a height barrier of 2.30m will be in operation. If you require access through this, please make arrangements with South Cliff Holiday Park on (01262) 671051 or call into South Cliff Holiday Park reception on your journey up to the park and ride entrance so that we can arrange for an attendant to meet you and open the barrier.

Bridlington Land Train

As well as the park and ride service, we also have a land train called the 'Spalight Coastal Explorer' providing a link to the town centre.

Where is the Bridlington Park & Ride?

Parking is at South Cliff car park overlooking Bridlington bay.

Beach access

Access to the beach in some cases is less than 50 metres from Bridlington Park & Ride. The type of access varies; there are stairs at several locations and some access is via the dunes overlooking the bay.

There are slipway access ramps within 100 metres to the north and south of the car park.

How many spaces are there?

There are over 1000 spaces including over 50 disabled spaces.

Are there any toilets on site?

Yes, there are toilets, including disabled and special needs. There’s also an information kiosk. Two cafés operate on a franchise and open according to seasonal demand.

Can we just hop on the bus or land train?

Yes, once you have paid £6.50 to park your vehicle, up to five persons (including the driver) can travel and return on the transport from town. You can travel at any time that day, for example, 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 whilst others play on the beach, then get your tickets to ride from the coach first.

There are no concessionary fares.

Where does the bus pick up from?

The bus picks up and drops off at the park and ride terminus and again directly opposite the harbour top/in front of South Cliff gardens and also at East Riding Leisure Bridlington during specified weekends, holidays and Bank Holidays. There are no intermediate pick up points.

In addition, during the six-week school summer holidays, the service will be extended until 8pm each evening.
