Impromptu visit, with my grandson, to the beach at Redcar after 5 tonight. It was lovely, Olivers fish and chips followed by famous Pacitto's lemon tops. A visit to the forest on the beach, a stroll along the shoreline snd then fun in the pavement fountains. It was very busy, the sea front is much improved but I was saddened to see how much litter was left on the beach and on the pavement area.

Read moreWe have never been to Redcar before, we were looking for a dog friendly beach walk and saw you could walk from Redcar to Saltburn completely on the beach if the tide is out.

By mid afternoon it was far busier, the beach was busy and the promenade was packed. It was the start of a Bank Holiday weekend and lots of people enjoying a hot summer day. We'll return and explore a different stretch next time to see what that's like. We only go for the beach and sea air and would...
