Redcar - Lifeboat Station (Beach) (Redcar and Cleveland) Beach forecast and tide times - Met Office (Please note, this is an external site - we are not responsible for content published on this site).
The Met Office lists three locations for Redcar, but all three are found along the same long stretch of beach, with Coatham closest to South Gare, the Lifeboat Station nearest the town centre and the Stray leading on towards Marske and Saltburn-by-the-Sea.
Be sure to check where incoming tides may cut off your return to safety when venturing around cliffs or bays or onto rocks. Always tell others where you intend to go and an approximate time for your return.
The rocks at Redcar are dangerous just one hour after LOW tide. Please use the beach between the red and yellow flags when the lifeguards are on duty, and if someone is seen in difficulty, dial 999 and ask for the coastguard.
Dogs
Dogs are very welcome in Redcar and Cleveland but we do ask that they are always supervised and kept under control. Please always have the means to clean up after your dogs. NEVER leave dogs in cars on a warm day.
Dogs should not be taken into children’s play areas or cemeteries.
Beach exclusion zones
Between the 1st May and 30th Sept, dogs should not be exercised in the exclusion zones on Redcar or Saltburn beaches. In Redcar, this zone extends from The Regent cinema to where The Esplanade meets Graffenberg Street.

Things to see and do
Guisborough Forest and Walkway
For walking lovers, runners, cyclists and horse owners, Guisborough Forest and Walkway provides the ideal starting point for a visit to Guisborough Forest’s walking routes, cycle trails and bridleways. A trim trail and orienteering trails also start at the site before extending into the forest.
From Guisborough Forest, walks that take in High Cliff Nab, Hanging Stone and Roseberry Topping (the Guisborough Three Peaks) can be completed, along with many other routes leading on to the Cleveland Way national trail.
Children can enjoy the play area or pond dipping and there is a picnic area looking out over the fields alongside the Branch Walkway Café and Visitors Centre. The Sculpture Trail is great for less active visitors following a route of chainsaw carvings into the forest.
Admission is free and car parking is available on site.
See www.fogfw.org for more information.
