Walking or riding

The coastal footpath is a shared access path which runs north/south along the coast. Manning Street/Moorland Streets are Safe Active Streets that run east/west linking Scarborough to Stirling Train Station. With a 30km speed limit, these quiet streets are ideal for cycling, e-scooters and pedestrians.

There are plenty of locations throughout the Scarborough area where you can park your bike or scooter.

If you’re using a rideshare or taxi, ask to be dropped off on the eastern side of West Coast Highway during peak times to avoid congestion.
