About

Whitley Bay North sits on the North Tyneside coastline, where the town meets the North Sea. The area is centred on the seafront with a long sandy beach and a promenade that runs past the Spanish City dome. A Tyne and Wear Metro station on the seafront gives direct travel into Newcastle and along the coastal line. Streets behind the promenade contain shops, cafes and local services, and the seafront layout includes groynes and a raised esplanade that shape how the shore is used through the year.

The eastern end of the bay is marked by St Mary's Island and its lighthouse, reached on foot across a rocky causeway when the tide is out. That island and the nearby rock shelves are familiar to walkers and anglers who time visits to coincide with the crossing. Residential areas in Whitley Bay North include schools and community centres within short distance of the coast, so daily life here often mixes seaside routes with local shopping and transport into the broader North Tyneside and Newcastle area.
