Cattersty Sands is the beach at Skinningrove, in Loftus parish, tucked between Cattersty Cliff and the old jetty where the ironstone was loaded. It sits outside both of the borough's exclusion zones, which cover named stretches at Redcar and Saltburn only, so dogs are unrestricted here every month of the year. Park at the Skinningrove seafront car park below the village and the sand is straight ahead; the Cleveland Way climbs the cliff to the west towards Brotton and Warsett Hill. It is a working-coast beach rather than a pretty one, backed by mine spoil and steelworks history, and it is almost always empty even in August when Saltburn is full.
Nobody has written one for Cattersty Sands. If you have been with the dog, you would be the first — and the first review is the one everybody reads.
