Paddy’s Hole
active 6 years, 1 month agoBeach Admins
Paddy’s Hole, named so because of the many Irishmen who helped to build the South Gare (the river mouth), is located down an unlikely looking private access road next to a Steel Works, just outside of Redcar. I know what you’re thinking – sounds peachy! You’re right to be skeptical, it isn’t the most picturesque location, but it is one of the few places on the East Coast of England where it’s possible to kite surf on a westerly wind. Paddy’s will work on anything from SW clockwise around to NE. NNW is on-shore. As mentioned above it is one of the few places on the east coast that can be kite surfed on a westerly, though SW and W winds tend to be gusty.
