About

Cullercoats is a coastal settlement situated between Tynemouth and Whitley Bay. The area centres around a small harbour, which remains active with local fishing boats. Steep streets lined with traditional terraced housing descend towards the bay. The beach here is a mix of sand and rock, with tidal pools exposed at low water.

The bay is notably defined by its sweeping curve and the prominent headland of Pen Bal Crag. A historic lifeboat station, operational since the 19th century, stands on the north side of the harbour. The local community retains a distinct identity, with its history closely tied to the fishing and former mining industries.
