Welcome to Whitley Sands

Whitley Sands is a beautiful coastal town located in Tyne and Wear, England. It is a popular tourist destination due to its stunning beaches, scenic views, and rich history. The town is home to a variety of attractions, including the Spanish City amusement park, which was built in 1910 and has been recently restored. Visitors can also enjoy a stroll along the promenade, which offers breathtaking views of the North Sea.

Whitley Sands is also known for its vibrant nightlife, with a range of bars, restaurants, and clubs to suit all tastes. The town has a lively atmosphere, particularly during the summer months when tourists flock to the area. The local cuisine is also a highlight, with fresh seafood being a particular specialty.

In addition to its natural beauty and lively atmosphere, Whitley Sands is also steeped in history. The town has a rich maritime heritage, with a number of historic buildings and landmarks to explore. The Old Low Light, a former lighthouse and navigation aid, is now a museum that tells the story of the town's seafaring past.
