Hebe's Hole is a picturesque coastal feature located in Yorkshire, England. Situated at the mouth of a small creek, it is primarily known as a sea estuary, where the creek meets the North Sea. The area surrounding Hebe's Hole is characterized by its stunning natural beauty and diverse marine ecosystem.

This coastal inlet is flanked by towering cliffs on either side, providing a dramatic backdrop for visitors. The cliffs are composed of rugged rock formations, displaying layers of sedimentary rocks that have been shaped by years of erosion. The view from Hebe's Hole offers a panoramic vista of the North Sea, with its ever-changing shades of blue and white waves crashing against the shoreline.

The creek that flows into Hebe's Hole is fed by freshwater streams from the nearby moorland, resulting in a unique blend of saltwater and freshwater. This makes the estuary an ideal habitat for a variety of wildlife, including fish, crustaceans, and numerous bird species. Birdwatchers frequent the area to catch a glimpse of rare species that can be spotted here.

Hebe's Hole is also a popular spot for recreational activities such as fishing and boating. Anglers are attracted to the estuary's abundant fish population, which includes sea trout, mackerel, and cod. Additionally, the calm waters of the creek offer a safe haven for kayakers and sailors to explore the coastal surroundings.

Overall, Hebe's Hole is a stunning coastal feature that showcases the natural beauty and biodiversity of Yorkshire's coastline. Its unique blend of saltwater and freshwater, coupled with its picturesque setting, makes it a must-visit destination for nature enthusiasts and outdoor enthusiasts alike.

Coatham promenade Approaching the Regent Cinema. Once past that you are in Redcar proper. Coatham was in Kirkleatham parish, but became a separate civil parish in 1899, when it was added to Redcar Urban District. It became fully merged with Redcar in 1921.

Blue plaque on the Regent Cinema Coatham was in Kirkleatham parish, and evidently tried to be a separate resort from Redcar. The demise of the pier in 1898 was closely followed by the incorporation of Coatham into Redcar Urban District in 1899.
