The beach is located close to the town of Redcar, where a wide range of shops, restaurants, and pubs can be found. An esplanade runs alongside the beach and is home to the Redcar Lifeboat Station, one of the RNLI's oldest lifeboat stations. A small car park is available for visitors close to the beach.

The nearby Zetland Lifeboat Museum, about a mile away, is worth a visit for those interested in the history of the RNLI in the area. The museum houses an interesting collection of local photographs, artefacts, and memorabilia, including the original Zetland Lifeboat. For panoramic views of the locality, visitors can head to Redcar Beacon, which has an open-roof terrace on the top floor and is free to enter.
