Seaton Carew Foreshore, Beach located in North East

A splendid promenade connects the Marina with one of the Victorians' favourite North-East resorts. Seaton Carew with its miles of broad golden sands and safe sheltered bathing is still the perfect venue for a traditional family day out at the seaside. There is a good flat beach to fly kites and build castles, rock pools to hunt shrimps and fun-packed amusement arcades. You can enjoy walks along several miles of clean, golden sand from the edge of Hartlepool Marina to the Tees Estuary and Blue Lagoon beach and if you are lucky, you will be able to watch seals basking just a short distance offshore.
