Saltburn Pier
One of the most picturesque aspects of Saltburn is the Pier – in which hundreds of thousands of locals and tourists walk up and down it each year to capture in the spectacular vantage points and fresh air.
Most evenings you will find photographers and locals capturing the beautiful sunset with the Pier being the focal point.
Saltburn Beach
One of the most idyllic walks in the region which stretches a distance of 8 miles, all the way from Redcar to Saltburn.
You will find many of the locals spending their evenings on the beach with a campfire whilst unwinding and entertaining others.
The single shale beach hosts weekly events with watersports and also the annual New Years Day Dip which helps to raise awareness and funds for local charities.

Crazy Golf
Located near the amusements, you will find the 18 hole crazy golf course that tests people’s metal including celebrities such as Tom Hardy.
Lemon Top Ice Cream
Visiting Saltburn and trying a lemon top is an absolute must! You are able to buy a lemon top either at Ednas Ices or Surfs Up on the seafront.
Cliff Lift and Tramway
Located to the rear of the Pier, the Cliff Lift is another historical aspect to Saltburn that you must see and have a ride on.
The water-based funicular helps you ease either up or down to the beach or into town and save you from climbing the steep steps.

On the far side of Saltburn, and slightly away from the beach, you will find the wonderful miniature railway that helps transport people all the way up into Valley Woods, which are a beautiful and natural part of Saltburn that you must explore.
