An American influencer has been showcasing his love for the North East after sharing his fun day trip to the beach.
Kalani Ghost Hunter, a TikTok star boasting more than 3.4 million followers, spent the weekend in Saltburn, recently.
In clips shared online, he showcased enjoying classic seaside experiences such as fish and chips on the beach, a visit to the new Milton St. Market, and even a stop at Greggs.
Saltburn, known for its Victorian charm and expanding food and drink scene, has grown in popularity as a destination for both day-trippers and tourists in recent years.
In a recent video, Kalani said: "We talked to everyone in town, and everyone said the Seaview Chippy was their favourite, the second one was Cat Nab right down the road."

Taking his chippy to the seafront, he said: "Look at the beautiful waves rolling in. A lot of people have been surfing today as well.
"I'm assuming in the wintertime this beach is freezing - but today it's nice."
Reviewing the haddock and chips themselves, Kalani told his viewers: "There's a decent crunch on this.
"Is it the best chippy I've ever had? No. But I will say the fish tastes good, and the views are great."
Kalani also joked that he was feeling "pretty brave," eating fish and chips on the beach with all the Seagulls flying around him - a fear Brits will know all too well.
"They've all been eyeing me from afar," he said.
Known for his videos about travel, food, and British culture, Kalani shared the highlights of his trip with a global audience, giving his audience a glimpse of a classic British seaside trip.
In videos shared across TikTok and Instagram, he also explored the newly opened Milton St. Market, where he reviewed a range of cuisines on offer, including Greek gyros, a Mexican burrito, and a smash burger.
Kalani also told his British viewers he was most nervous about reviewing the Mexican food at Milton Street Market - given the cuisine's huge popularity across North America.
"If it wasn't right, I was going to tell you it wasn't right," he said.
He added: "But the flavours are a lot closer to Mexican food at home than some other places in the UK, so we'll give them props for that."
Kalani's trips around the UK have been appreciated by local businesses and councils for the exposure - especially as Saltburn continues to attract new visitors with its expanding food, drink and hospitality offerings.
