Consistent popular spot and historic centre of the Yorkshire surf scene. Range of setups with something for all abilities and tides.

• Main beach: peaks up and down beach, best around pier. User friendly, works pretty much tide round, best around mid. Can be shorebreaky on high high and small swells.
• Penny’s Hole: punchier sand (at low) and cobblestone (mid-high) break in front of the Ship Inn. Intermediate+
• Saltburn Point: fickle, long, right-hand reef/point break off the southern Saltburn Scar headland. Scar offers some shelter from SE/ESE. Experts+.

Swell magnet spot, N/NE ideal. Try Coatham Sands if too big or too E. Lots to explore in the surrounding areas.

Offshore in a southwesterly, with some shelter from at high tide. Some shelter from ESE/SE at The Point, some from south depending on beach peak - check out Coatham Sands as well.

Watch out for rocks, pier/pilings, pollution, rips especially when big and crowds, particularly over summer. Water quality improved, but backsliding - check SSRS app.
