Cattersty Sands Beach (North Yorkshire)

Information
Cattersty Sands and Skinningrove beach are split by a pier which was built by the Skinningrove Iron Company in the late 1880s for loading ore onto steamers bound for Middlesborough.
You need to move away from the car park to the other side of the pier where you will find a long stretch of sand with some shingle backed by high grass-covered cliffs.
The Cleveland Way runs through Skinningrove and along the cliff tops.
Facilities at the beach include car parking, a cafe, pub, Post Office and small shop.
Whilst you are in Skinningrove we would suggest you pay a visit to the Cleveland Ironstone Mining Museum which goes through the history of one of the biggest ironstone mines in Cleveland.
Cattersty Sands Beach is dog friendly and allows dogs all year.

  The Cleveland Ironstone Mining Museum has a large collection of memorabilia around the rich ironstone heritage of East Cleveland. The museum is located on the site of Loftus Mine, an actual ironstone mine. Between 1865 and 1958, over 500 men and boys were employed here, making this the third largest mine in Cleveland.

  Saltburn Pier located in Saltburn-by-the-Sea is the last pier remaining in Yorkshire. Construction started in 1867 and the 1,500 feet (460 m) pier opened in May 1869, with a steamer landing stage at the head of the pier and two circular kiosks at the entrance. Access to the pier was difficult from the town via the steep cliff so a wooden Cliff Hoist was constructed in 1870 that allowed 20 people to be placed in a wooden cage and then lowered by rope to beach level.

  Clean! Unspoiled and natural.
  This area has improved ten fold since last year due to the beach having been cleaned regularly and the path to the beach.
  The pier has clearly had money spent on it as it is now safe clean and a pleasant place you can sit.

  A touch of Paradise.
  One of the finest beaches in Yorkshire! The sandy beach is clean washed by the twice daily tide and is an excellent venue for dog lovers and anyone wishing to enjoy this extensive, little used sea-shore under the magestic cliffs of East Cleveland.
