Redcar is a seaside resort and the principal town in the unitary authority of Redcar and Cleveland in the ceremonial county of North Yorkshire, England. It lies 7.5 miles (12.1 km) east-northeast of Middlesbrough by the North Sea coast. It has a population of 33,100. Redcar originated as a fishing town in the early 14th century, trading with the larger adjacent market town of Coatham. Until the mid 19th Century it was a sub-parish of the village of Marske-by-the-Sea, when Redcar emerged as a seaside tourist destination. With the opening of the Middlesbrough to Redcar Railway in 1846, Redcar became a resort for Victorian tourists.
