Whitley Bay, Seaside resort town in North Tyneside, England
The coastal settlement extends along golden sand beaches next to the North Sea, featuring the white St Mary's Lighthouse on its northern edge point.
The land belonged to Tynemouth Priory from 1100 before transforming into a holiday destination after the railway connection opened in 1882.
The Spanish City, a restored domed structure from 1910, stands as the center point for entertainment, dining, and social gatherings on the seafront.
The town connects to Newcastle through the Tyne and Wear Metro system, with stations at Whitley Bay and Monkseaton serving regular commuters.
Winter beach walkers can collect pieces of coal that surface naturally from exposed seams in the cliffs during low tide periods.
