Redcar Beacon


Redcar Beacon was built as part of the regeneration of the Redcar seafront and was opened to the public on the 28th March 2013. The Beacon is 80ft high and has seven floors with cafes and viewing platforms. It has 132 steps (and a lift!). Initially the Beacon was described as a 'vertical pier' (Redcar's old Victorian pier having being demolished in 1981).
