Title-Scarborough (written in pebbles on the beach)
After this the camera pans across the beach where children are being led along on donkeys and crowds of people sit around on the beach on their deck chairs.
The following shots are taken from above looking down onto the North Bay bathing pool which is packed full of swimmers. It is right beside the road and many cars drive past. Then there is a shot taken from a hill looking down onto a hill road and down onto the crowded North Bay.
A brass band is seated on a floating stage in Peasholme Park, playing for the audience that sits at the side of the lake. Some miniature boats sail around the lake and one of the boats rests beside the stage.
An exhibition of animal models and gnomes has been set up in a park and this is followed by a shot of the miniature train full of passengers.
Title-Runswick Bay (written in pebbles).
Men and women walk up a steep hill which overlooks the sea; a man takes out binoculars and looks out to the opposite headland. Another group of men and women sit on a bench on the hill and look out over the sea.
There is a shot taken from the top of another hill looking down between some houses built on the incline, all the way down to the crowded beach below. People walk up and down the steep path between the houses. Two women and a young girl sit outside a caf? having tea. Following this are shots of the girl and her mother and sister, sitting on rocks beside the sea and then shots of a row boat coming into the jetty.
In the next section are point of view shots taken from a row boat looking at one of the young girls who also sits in the row boat; she smiles at the camera. A group of men gather around a small yacht which has been pulled up on the beach shore.
Title-Stathes (written in pebbles)
A row boat sits on a path up away from the sea. The two young girls sit on the path overlooking the sea and following this are shots of men and women walking along the pier, sitting on the pier walls or walking along them.
The two girls walk along the harbour, past some lobster pots in the direction of the camera. This is followed by a shot of a large section of cliff with buildings at its base; lots of people are swimming in the sea in a small, crowded inlet.
There are shots of the small town with shops selling ices, with people walking down some steep stone steps past a caf?, and people crowding around a stall on the beach which is selling shells. There are lots of men and women wandering around the beach front.
