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. Visitors can enjoy a meal at one of the many seafood restaurants, or sample some of the local delicacies at the weekly farmers' market.

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. Other notable landmarks include the St. Mary's Lighthouse and the Tynemouth Castle and Priory, both of which offer a glimpse into the town's fascinating history.
