Hartlepool Marina - A State of the Art Development

Hartlepool MarinaHartlepool Marina is one of the most modern Marina facilities in Europe.

Featuring one of Europe's biggest boat hoists and attracting hundreds of vessels, the £60 million Marina is Hartlepool's most alluring and relaxing location.

High fashion, waterside restaurants and romantic promenades may be more characteristic of a continental port, but Hartlepool has definitely made marina life a delicacy of its own.

Modern Apartment blocks, high class restaurants, hotel, high-tech business centres, shops and entertainment venues are just some of the sights you will come across when you visit this fabulous destination.

Historic Quay - the 18th Century, Now

Hartlepool's Historic QuayHartlepool Marina's centrepiece is the award-winning Historic Quay.

A faithful reproduction of an 18th century seaport portraying the exciting experience of what life was like at the time of Nelson and Trafalgar.

This superb visitor attraction offers the sights, smells and sounds of the naval yesteryear.

Seaton Carew - A Traditional Seaside Destination

Seaton Carew

A splendid promenade connects the Marina with one of the Victorian's favourite North-East resorts.

Seaton Carew with its miles of broad golden sands and safe sheltered bathing is still the perfect venue for a traditional family day out at the seaside.

Enjoy good flat beaches to fly kites and build castles, rock pools to hunt shrimps and amusement arcades that flicker and sing - Seaton Carew is well worth visiting when you stay in Hartlepool.
