There are two sets of navigation lights in Redcar that are used to guide boats through the rocks.

The first set are on the Esplanade opposite the new Hub building and above Marks and Spencer. Knows as the Lade Lights, when aligned these mark the safe path between ‘High Stones’ and ‘The Flashes’

The second set are at either end of King Street, one on the Esplanade and one in the High Street. When aligned these mark the ‘Luffway’ a gap between the ‘West Scar’ and ‘Salt Scar’ rocks.

Many thanks to Ray at Redcar Coastwatch for the information.
