Saltburn Beach Spot Guide

Despite the freezing winter weather, Saltburn Beach was one of the first outposts of surfing on England's east coast and has developed into one of the UK's real wave-riding hubs. The beach is a fairly average proposition, with the occasional quality sandbar forming close to the pier. To the south sits a sand and cobblestone break called Penny's Hole with some lovely lefts and rights. At the far southern end, beneath the towering cliff, is Saltburn Point, a high quality slabstone reef that wakes occasionally in the lined up swells, throwing out fast, reeling righthanders.
