Redcar Esplanade
FreeA sea wall mark right along Redcar's Esplanade, with a long flight of stairs down onto clear sand in front. It's about as comfortable a mark as this stretch of coast offers, level ground, easy access from the pavement, and clear sand underfoot that keeps you fishing rather than untangling rigs, which makes it a solid choice for anyone easing into shore fishing.
Access: Free shore access, no rod licence needed for sea fishing
Parking: On-street parking along the Esplanade, direct access via the stairs or pavement

Worm, crab and fish baits all work here, and it's very much a high tide mark, the clear sand means snag-free fishing so it's a good one for running gear rather than fixed rigs. Summer brings the crowds, dog walkers and swimmers close to the water, so expect to share the beach and fish around them rather than having the mark to yourself.
