Long Sands beach
10 Nalina Shalova

Whitley Bay beach
10 Sarika Nair Deshpande

This stunning beach is not only immaculate, but also welcomes our furry friends with open arms. With easy access to restrooms and delightful cafes, I find myself returning to this spot time and time again.

Sandhaven beach
10 Aria Lee

Very nice beach and he best around."

Marsden beach
10 Larissa Kowalska

This picturesque beach boasts a bar nestled into the cliff face, with the imposing Marsden rock looming in the background. A natural stack runs parallel to the cliffs, and Camel island can be seen at the northern end. The scenery is truly breathtaking, and the beach is kept immaculately clean. However, be warned that this spot seems to attract a fair share of suicidal individuals, so perhaps it's best to hold off on an early morning visit.

Little Haven beach
10 Lila Stone

This beach is absolutely delightful with its soft sand and the best part is that it's open to dogs year-round. My family and I, along with our furry friend, adore visiting this spot throughout the year. It's conveniently located just a brief stroll away from the amusement park and playground, which are a hit with the kids, and it's a great way to keep our dog entertained as well. It's a win-win situation for everyone!
