Visit Redcar

Why Redcar

Redcar is an ideal location to enjoy a traditional seaside holiday. The amazing beach is always a hive of activity and behind you’ll find arcades and amusements and the iconic landmark of the Redcar Beacon. In town, there’s the buzzing high street. With great high street names, independent retailers and market stalls, there is plenty to explore. 

Thanks to some extensive regeneration of the seafront area Redcar now has a refurbished promenade, where in the Summer you’ll find fairground rides and games that kids will love.
