Would I be able to camp on Redcar (UK) beach?

Me and my friends want to go camping but unfortunately, as we are all 16 we don't have any money to afford a proper campsite, plus we may be too loud and young for one anyway. As something fun to do, we thought we'd camp on Redcar beach. I want to know if this is allowed or if we'll have to go right down the beach and hide behind the sand dunes? If it's not allowed, what do they do? Do the police patrol the beach? And if so, how often? Also, will we be allowed to have a campfire? I have ultimate respect for the environment, so of course we would clean up everything afterwards.
