Redcar, Coastal town in North Yorkshire, England

Redcar stretches along a wide sandy beach on the North Sea coast, with the Redcar Beacon observation tower standing 80 feet above the shoreline.

The settlement evolved from a 14th-century fishing village into an industrial center during the 1800s, supporting both steel manufacturing and maritime activities.

The Palace Hub Gallery presents local artists' works and functions as an incubator for creative businesses in the North Yorkshire region.

Two railway stations, Redcar Central and Redcar East, connect the town to Middlesbrough and other regional destinations through regular train services.

The Zetland Lifeboat Museum houses the oldest surviving lifeboat in the world, which saved 500 lives between 1802 and 1880.
