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.
