Immersed in natural beauty, featuring endless miles of golden sand and with a rich historical significance, the town known locally as Mighty Redcar has a lot to offer the caravan holiday homeowner. Take a look below and see why.

Redcar, the seaside town in North East England, was once little more than a fishing village. It’s how it stayed until the early nineteenth century. Over the next hundred years though commercial innovation and the emergence of the seaside holiday would see the town grow and prosper. Today, tourism is what makes the town tick. It’s precisely the sort of location that today’s caravan holiday homeowner is looking for.

 

Redcar Beach is part of an eight-mile sweep of sands stretching from South Gare to Saltburn-by-the-Sea. It’s a coastline of contrasts; a place of beautiful bays and spectacular sea cliffs. It’s exactly the sort of landscape that explains the huge surge in interest for UK seaside holiday homes.

As international travel started to lose its appeal in a post-Brexit and post-pandemic world, the idea of a UK seaside holiday home was taking hold like never before. Now, people are planning for a new approach to holidays. We’ve gone beyond ‘staycation’. We’re owning where we stay.
