South of Seaton Carew in NE Egland, where the huge sandy beaches give way to a rocky area along the north side of the estuary to the River Tees.
This is the North Gare, the opposite side of the Tees as this point known as the South Gare.
Always wondered what 'gare' actually meant and only today did I discover it refers to a triangular piece of land or a projecting spit of land jutting out into water.
Here at Teesmouth, the North Gare and South Gare describe the triangular or tongue-like projections of land and sand dunes on either side of the River Tees estuary mouth, so, there you go!
The North Gare made international news a few years ago as being the place where 'canoe man' John Darwin, faked his own death during a staged canoeing accident, ostensibly to collect life insurance money and escape heavy debts.
His 'disappearance' sparked a huge search and rescue operation from this beach.
