Whitley Bay is a hidden gem on the northeast coast, just a short distance from Newcastle upon Tyne, offering the perfect blend of seaside charm and lively attractions. Guests often fall in love with the town's relaxed yet vibrant atmosphere, where there's always something to discover. The Stunning Seafront with its long sandy beach is the star of the show here, perfect for a stroll, a swim, or simply enjoying the view. A must-see landmark, Spanish City has been an iconic part of Whitley Bay for over a century. Originally built as a funfair pavilion in the 1910s, it's now been beautifully restored into a stylish dining and entertainment venue. Visitors love the range of restaurants and cafes, and the stunning architecture makes it a perfect place to take photos. You can also find live music, events, and special performances here! Whitley Bay is home to many unique, independent shops that offer everything from handmade crafts to vintage finds. Guests often enjoy browsing local boutiques and discovering one-of-a-kind gifts.
