Steel Making Sculpture, erected in 2013 to
represent the Towns connection to Fishing and
Steel Making.
Next to the Steel Sculpture is the
Bandstand and 9 Penguin Sculptures place here
in 1994. The Penguins were temporarily
removed twice, first for the 2006 filming of
Atonement,
where Redcar Beach was used to Film a scene
for a Beach Landing during World War Two.
The Penguins were removed again while the
Beach Front was re-developed, with them being
returned in 2013.
The Regent Cinema is at the centre of the
Beach area, built in 1935. This Cinema was
closed in 2018 due to structural problems,
replaced by a Modern Metal & Glass
Building with three Screens in 2022. Website
At the centre of the Beach area is The
Beacon, 80 feet high with great views all
around from the top, also with a Bar Diner,

completed in 1873 at 1,300 feet long for
boats bringing tourist to Redcar, with a
Pavilion and Ballroom at the Pier. The Old
