About

Whitburn and Marsden ward occupies the southern coastline of South Tyneside, stretching from the village of Whitburn north to the Marsden area. The landscape is defined by limestone cliffs, coastal grassland, and the prominent Marsden Rock sea stack.

The area includes the expansive Marsden Bay, known for its colony of seabirds, and the adjacent Souter Lighthouse. Whitburn Coastal Park provides green space with paths along the cliff tops. The ward's character is largely residential, with a focus on coastal scenery and local community amenities rather than dense urban development.
