Coast

Beautiful beaches stretching further than the eye can see, twisting cliff top paths, exhilarating amusements and miles of natural beauty make our coastline a delight to explore all year round.

South Tyneside is blessed with gorgeous, award winning sandy beaches that stretch from the mouth of the Tyne at South Shields for miles. Here you'll find an abundance of wildlife, hidden coves, cycleways and a pioneering lighthouse.
Sunderland and its neighbouring boroughs also have some spectacular coastal walks to suit all ages and energy levels together with the city's award-winning beaches at Roker and Seaburn.

People travel hundreds of miles to enjoy the relaxed party atmosphere of Whitley Bay; taking a stroll along the promenade or sandy beach. Longsands in Tynemouth boasts a golden sandy beach which is popular as a watersports beach, especially for surfing.

Whichever beach you choose this glorious North Eastern coast will leave you feeling relaxed and refreshed.
