Visiting Saltburn Beach

Getting there

From Middlesbrough, take the A174 eastwards towards Saltburn-by-the-Sea. Follow the signs to the beach or town center. Parking is available along Marine Parade and in other designated areas close to the beach. The beach is easily accessible from these parking areas, with the town's amenities within walking distance.

Parking

There is ample parking along Marine Parade and in town center car parks. During peak times, such as summer weekends, it's advisable to arrive early to find a spot. Parking near the beach provides easy access to both the shore and Saltburn's additional attractions.

Toilets

Public toilets are available near the beach, at the lower promenade, and close to the pier.

Safety

Check the tide times before you go and head out on a falling tide, so you're never cut off. Keep away from the bottom of cliffs, wear sturdy shoes on rocks, and only take sea glass and other man-made rubbish: pebbles, sand and shells should stay on the beach.
