South GareA man-made breakwater at the mouth of the River Tees. The mixture of rough ground, sand dunes, tidal mud flats and both freshwater and saltwater pools make this a good spot for watching birds, if somewhat exposed in poor weather (though the access road allows for viewing on both sides from the comfort of your car). South Gare's bird list of 260+ is the best for any site in the region.
