Whitley Bay
The seaside town of Whitley Bay provides the perfect family outing with arcades, a skate park, mini golf, as well as award-winning ice cream and fish and chips. The famous Spanish City is now open too!
Whitley Bay's golden sands are perfect for sandcastle building and long walks.
An outdoor play and water park is close by and ideal for keeping children entertained.
Playhouse Whitley Bay has a varied programme of shows and productions with something for everyone.
St Mary’s Lighthouse is one the borough’s main attractions, having stood as a beacon along the coastline since 1898. It features a nature reserve and wetland habitat ideal for rockpooling and often seals can be spotted lying on the rocks. The Lighthouse also marks the finish line of the popular North Tyneside 10k Road Race.
Overlooking the sea is a wonderful plaza and events space. Each year, the town hosts the North Tyneside Firework Display attracting tens of thousands of people, as well as a classic car show on the Links, carnival and a food and drink festival on the Spanish City Plaza.

Cullercoats Bay Victoria Crescent Cullercoats Tyne & Wear NE30 4PN
Cullercoats is a sandy bay enclosed by small piers and as such is ideal for families. The village has been popular with generations of visitors with its secluded bay the highlight. The beach has a Seaside Award and is ideal for bathing. The south of the bay is used as a launch site for recreational crafts. Cullercoats had a thriving fishing industry in the 1800s and small fishing boats - cobles - can still be seen in and around the bay today. Dove Marine Laboratory, on the bay itself, is an important research centre for Newcastle University's School of Marine Science. The Victorian RNLI Lifeboat Station is still active today. At the top of the north bank is Cullercoats Watch House. In the 19th Century Cullercoats developed a reputation as a popular artists' colony with the everyday lives of the fishing folk often used as subjects. The famous American artist Winslow Homer spent 18 months living and working in Cullercoats. Two interpretation panels on the seafront (overlooking the bay and further to the North, just after the Watch House) explain the fascinating art history of Cullercoats. Cullercoats is the perfect place to stop for some refreshments, especially if you are enjoying the coastal walk between Tynemouth and Whitley Bay. You are spoiled for choice with fish and chips, a pub lunch, a coffee and cake or an ice cream all on the menu.
