There are also golf, mini golf, and foot golf courses to entertain the whole family. Enjoy a cottage in Whitley Bay with your family or friends and discover the pleasures of the northern coast.
Reasons for Staying in Whitley Bay
The Beach
Whitley Bay Beach is one of the most accessible beaches in the northeast. With two miles of soft golden sand, there is plenty of room to have fun with the family. Chances are you'll be walking as the mighty North Sea winds batter the coastline, giving a refreshing change to the usual day on the beach. You'll want to visit the far north of the beach at low tide because you can cross to the Victorian Lighthouse. Climb the 137 stairs to the top, where a fantastic view of Whitley Bay and the sea awaits. South of the beach is the Spanish City. This Victorian-style arcade was refurbished in 2018 to be an incredible attraction. It now hosts many different restaurants and is a location for various events.
