The beach is characterised by its long stretch of sand, interspersed with a very long pier and various working pipelines. In the 1930s, industrial works alongside this part of the coastline extracted magnesia (magnesium carbonate) from dolomitic lime and seawater, although today, all that remains of this industrial site are some derelict buildings, old pipes, and the remains of Steetley Pier.
The beach can be accessed by parking at West View Road and walking through the tunnel which passes under the railway line. Then, walk towards the sea, past the former industrial buildings, and turn right, towards the old pier.
The beach is often deserted and has no restrictions on dog walking. To get the most from this beach, it is recommended to check tidal tables and time your visit to coincide with low tide, when a vast amount of golden sand, interspersed with pipes, is exposed. The beach is backed by a cemetery and further north, by Hartlepool Golf Course, beyond which lies the Durham Coast Nature Reserve. Hartlepool Marina lies to the south of the beach.
There is a fish and chip shop nearby, and more places to eat and shops can be found in Hartlepool.
