Monkseaton

Monkseaton ward lies along the North Tyneside coastline, centred around its namesake village. The area is primarily residential, characterised by suburban housing, local shopping parades, and several schools. It is bordered by the North Sea to the east and includes Whitley Bay to the north. The landscape features gentle slopes leading down to the coast, with a mix of older terraced properties and more modern developments shaping its streets.

The area is served by a mainline railway station providing direct links to Newcastle. A notable local landmark is the Monkseaton High School building, a distinctive example of 1960s architecture. The ward contains public parks and playing fields, and its western edge is defined by the route of the old Blyth and Tyne Railway. Coastal access points lead to the promenade and beaches shared with neighbouring areas.
