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.
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 Caravan Park on (01262) 671051 or call into South Cliff Caravan 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 and ride?
Parking is at South Cliff car park overlooking Bridlington 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 £4.00 to park, up to five persons (including the driver) can travel and return on the transport from town. You can travel at any time 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 whilst others play on the beach, then get your tickets to ride from the coach first.
People with consession passes will no longer be able to use them on the Park and Ride service and will now be subject to paying supplemented 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. There are no intermediate pick up points.
At weekends from 27 May – 3 September, and from 28 October to 5 November, and during school holidays, the buses will stop outside the new East Riding Leisure Bridlington. In addition, during the six- week school summer holidays, the service will be extended until 8pm each evening.
