Darlington by the Sea is returning to the town centre in less than a week.
Tonnes of sand will be delivered to the market square ahead of the event beginning on Wednesday July 24.
It will be used to create a clean beach right in the middle of town.
The beach will be open Wednesday to Sunday, from 11am to 5pm, with deckchairs and beach toys available for families to enjoy.
There will be face painting, activities and lots of fun games at the free event.
