Whitley Bay
A great coastline
One of the best known of Tynemouth's seaside
resorts, Whitley Bay offers a great coastline, one of
the most painted and photographed icons in the UK and
a party atmosphere people travel hundreds of miles for.
The beach at Whitley Bay has been a magnet for holidaymakers
for decades and even the lure of hot overseas holidays
hasn't stopped visitors and residents alike using the
local sands when the British weather allows.
St. Mary's Lighthouse stands as a beacon on its own
island and has done now for over 100 years. Although
not in active service, the structure remains a popular
draw for visitors and features in many a photographer's
portfolio due to its stunning setting and appearance.
Wildlife abounds
The area surrounding the lighthouse is popular
with divers and wildlife enthusiasts. The wetland area
is home for large parts of the year to many rare species
and the opportunities for a relaxing time and a bit
of peace and quiet make this a much sought-after experience.
The resort has a unique atmosphere at weekends and
Bank Holidays when the young and young at heart come
to sample the nightlife from all over the UK and certainly
don’t leave disappointed.
Places of interest
St. Mary's Island
This picturesque and popular spot is located at the
far North of Whitley Bay. Located on the small island
is a group of houses and a lighthouse/museum. Access
to the island is via a causeway which becomes submerged
at high tide.
