Headland Coastline

Hartlepool Headland is formed on a peninsular of magnesium limestone which reaches into the north Sea. This geological make-up has created a coastline of mixed treasures.

From golden sandy beach of the North Sands stroll along to the teeming rockpools towards the end of the peninsular where you might find yourself rolling up your sleeves and searching for crabs. This area was also home to the fabled 'Elephant Rock' which finally succumbed to the erosion of the sea on May 10th 1891.
