Whitley Bay

The reopening of St Mary's lighthouse, which was due to be in mid-September, has been delayed due to specialist reglazing works.

North Tyneside council has said that St Mary’s lighthouse in Whitley Bay will undergo some much-needed repair and redecoration works.

Tynemouth Longsands is among a handful of seaside locations in the region to get recognition of the highest standards of cleanliness, facilities and management.
