Blue Dolphin, Filey
Filey
Blue Dolphin Holiday Park sits on a high cliff edge, giving brilliant views out over the sea below at Gristhorpe Bay and is next to the golden beach at Filey. It's close to Scarborough town with more sandy beaches, and close to the gothic Whitby. The park terrain is a mix of flat and sloping areas and is wheelchair friendly.
Facilities on site include two pools, both heated, one indoor with a a multi- lane waterslide and one outdoor for the warmer weather. Other facilities include: the freshwater fishing lake (sadly, not currently wheelchair accessible) Batfast, crazy golf, laser combat, archery and an indoor SportsDome with a climbing wall and roller disco, so there's something to do whatever the weather! Children can be kept busy with the free kids’ club and activities with the FunStars every day.
For family evening entertainment, visit the Showbar, with daily stage shows and regular guest performers.
Eating options on site include: Papa John’s Pizza, Burger King, The Brigghouse Restaurant, and the traditional fish and chips shop, plus the mini mart for everyday essentials.
Our caravan on Hawthorne Drive sleeps up to six people. It has two twin bedrooms, and there are ceiling pulleys in the main bedroom. The sofa in the lounge can convert into a double bed. With it's own parking space, ramp, wheelchair accessible kitchen and wet room with pull down shower seat and grab bars, it is ideal for wheelchair users or guests with mobility issues.
Enjoy cliff top walks from the park or visit Scarborough castle, a medieval site with sea views, or the local the Sea Life Sanctuary. Flamingo Land theme park, with high speed rides and exotic animals. For something a little quieter, the North Yorkshire Moors Railway offers a classic steam train that runs between Pickering and Whitby,
