It is surrounded by beautiful natural landscapes and limitless ocean views. Scarborough lies adjacent to the Cape Point Nature Reserve, which guarantees little development here in the future and means that the suburb is blessed with some of the greatest treasure collections of plants.

There are very few houses in town; just a small cluster at Misty Cliffs and a larger conglomeration of holiday homes. Scarborough’s main attractions are the vast sea, scenic nature and a refreshing absence of human habitation.
