 Redcar

|
|
Redcar,
a family resort on the coast outside Middlesbrough,
the extensive beaches and all year entertainment has always
made the town a popular family holiday destination.
There
are three main beach areas, and with the racecourse nearby
means you can often see the racehorses being raced along the
beach.
Redcar
gets lively with clubs, pubs, restaurants and of course the
shops in pedestrianised streets..With its location and history
it's no surprise that fresh fish is still landed here, and
available ready to eat in the restaurants and fish 'n chip
shops.
The town
has a leisure centre with sports halls and fitness centre.
