Scarborough's Coastal Neighbour
The Beach, the Bay, and the Caravans
Cayton sits just three miles south of Scarborough, a proper village with a famous bay that draws surfers, dog walkers, and holidaymakers all year round. Between the permanent village, the caravan parks (Cayton Bay Holiday Park is one of the biggest in the area), and the steady stream of day-trippers, we get a surprising variety of call-outs here.
Holidaymakers are our most common Cayton customers — someone's driven up from Leeds or Sheffield for a week in a static caravan, the key's fallen out of a beach bag somewhere between the dunes and the chip shop, and now the car's locked and the spare is 80 miles away in a kitchen drawer. We resolve those fast — usually within the hour — so their holiday isn't ruined by a lockout.

A Bit About Cayton
Cayton is one of those places that feels a world away from Scarborough despite being right next to it. The village has a proper community — a well-regarded primary school, a couple of pubs, and the sort of place where people stay for decades. Cayton Bay itself is a sweeping curve of sand that's popular with surfers when the swell's right and with fossil hunters when the tide's out. The Cleveland Way runs along the clifftop above the bay — it's one of the best coastal walks in Yorkshire.
The caravan parks multiply Cayton's population dramatically in summer, which means we get more call-outs here between May and September than the rest of the year combined. Holiday keys, almost always. Someone's driven three hours to get here, unpacked the car, settled into the caravan, and then realised the car key has disappeared — dropped on the beach, left in a coat pocket that went through the washing machine, or simply walked off somewhere between the amusements and the ice cream van. A locked car with the only key 80 miles away is a holiday-ender — unless you call us.
Story from the Road
The Ford Kuga, the Caravan, and the Key in the Sand
August bank holiday weekend, and a family from Bradford had arrived at Cayton Bay Holiday Park for a week away. They'd unpacked the Ford Kuga, got the kids settled, and the dad had taken them straight down to the beach for a paddle. Somewhere between building sandcastles and eating ice cream, the Kuga's smart key — which had been in his shorts pocket — had dropped out onto the sand. He didn't notice until they got back to the caravan, sandy and sunburned, and the car wouldn't unlock.
He searched the beach for an hour as the tide came in. No key. His spare was in the kitchen drawer at home in Bradford. It was 6pm on a Saturday, and the nearest Ford dealer wouldn't open until Tuesday. A week's holiday was about to become a very expensive weekend followed by a recovery truck home.
He called us at 6:30pm. We were at Cayton Bay by 6:45pm. We opened the Kuga, supplied and programmed a brand-new smart key, and had the family back in business before 7:30pm. We also de-programmed the lost key from the car's immobiliser — so even if someone found it on the beach, it couldn't start the car. He paid £195 for a new key that Ford would have charged £320 for — and he didn't lose a single day of his holiday.
