The northern end of the award winning Long Sands beach is a stunning stretch of golden sand, backed by low dunes.  In summer it is one of the most popular spots on the North East coast. People come from far and wide to build sand castles, sunbathe or splash about in the clean waters. It is also one of the areas best surfing beaches. The powerful waves here have made it a popular destination for surfing, and the national surfing championships have been held here. You can get your surfing lessons here and stop of for refreshments overlooking the beach at the surfers bar. Adjacent to the beach, on the other side of Grand Parade is Tynemouth Park, a family fun park, with a boating lake, crazy golf and themed children’s play areas.  The Blue Reef Aquarium, also nearby, has a good variety of interesting sea-life.  Whatever time of year you come here, there’ll be lots to keep children entertained.

Awesome beach to get the early sunrise- safe bathing with very shallow beaches

Love this beach. Spotlessly clean. Great to see children and families out and about, even though it is Winter. Lots of people enjoying the fresh air. Try to get up here as much as possible. No gimmicks, no arcades, just a fantastic beach with the Priory at one end.

Nice clean and very long walk with the dog , there is a park half way along the dunes for the kids

A sunny windy day in june and about 2 dozen people enjoying the freedom and fresh air

Loved the tynemouth beach. Its just beside a sanctuary where the tyne river meets the sea and gradually end up getting flown to The North Sea. The scenic beauty was too good and I think it was a great decision to visit this gorgeous place. Just beside the beach, there is tynemouth priory castle which is of historical and archaeological importance. There is also a light house, and the way to it is a great place to bring mental peace and acts as a tranquilizer.

Lovely long sandy beach popular with surfers; there is a surf school at the southern end. The incline is very slight so you have to go a long way out to get be out of your depth. There is a restaurant/caffe at both the north and south end of the beach, the one at the south end has lots of beach chairs out on the sand. As with Whitley Bay, the southern half of this beach is a no dog zone between May & September.

(Translated by Google) Short drive out of Newcastle and you will find a beautiful, wide beach with sufficient infrastructure. Only park or app parking, the British just as little as we Germans. Only cash at the car park at the top of the promenade and extra still somewhere bills have to change into coins. Could everything be so easy ... (Original) Kurze Fahrt raus aus Newcastle und schon findet man einen schönen, breiten Strand mit ausreichender Infrastruktur. Nur Parkautomat oder App-Parken können die Briten genauso wenig wie wir Deutschen. Nur Bargeld am Parkautomaten oben an der Promenade und extra noch irgendwo Scheine in Münzen wechseln müssen. Könnte alles so einfach sein...

Cracking view, quiet early morning or evenings. If you don't have a disabled badge ;p

Lovely walk on a cold winters day

I am in love with this beach. In my experience, THIS is the best and beautiful beach I have ever seen. This beach is so huge and large with full of sands. I love everything there, The sea and the rock in the beach. There is few higher big rock top which is the real fun. I climbed most of them at their top. It was so much fun. There was food shop availability near the beach and morrison too within 7 mins distance. So we Did not Have to worry for food and toilets. Many families come here for entertainment. They play in beach with their family members. Some of them come with their dogs and the dogs love playing with balls and with Their masters in beach. Some people and kids do surfing in sea. This is really awesome to enjoy. Most recommended beach to visit in holiday.

Lovely.. Free parking by the statue

Todays visit to Longsands was for the children to try surfing. As ever the beach was stunning, we parked just outside of Tynemouth centre near the crescent and walked down. The beach is a great expanse to lounge, people watch, play, keep fit etc. It’s a really long shallow fall into the sea so it’s very safe. There are lifeguards available too depending on seasons and times. It looked stunning in the sunlight today.

Beautiful blue flag beach. Lovely cafes nearby, in particular The Boat Yard in Cullercoats and the Surf Cafe

(Translated by Google) Long Sands Beach Beautiful long beach and roaring sea with waves invite you to swim, water sports and long walks. The fine sand beach, which is pleasantly warm on these warm days, is a place of rest for many visitors. The water of the North Ocean that washes off the coast of England is cold, so there are not many bathing people in the sea. Today was a really hot day and the high wave that sprinkled me beautifully was quite pleasant. On the beach there are several showers in the adjacent area, a restaurant with a terrace with tables and chairs and a window where they sell delicious ice cream in a cup. Of course there is a clean toilet. (Original) Long Sands Beach Nádherná dlouhá pláž a hučící moře s vlnami lákají ke koupání, k vodním sportům a k dlouhým procházkám. Pláž z jemného písku, který je v tyto teplé dny příjemně vyhřátý je místem odpočinku pro mnohé návštěvníky. Voda Severního oceánu, která omývá pobřeží Anglie je studená a tak v moři není moc koupajících se lidí. Dnes byl opravdu horký den a vysoká vlna, která mě krásně pokropila byla docela příjemná. Na pláži je v přilehlém prostoru několik sprch, restaurace s terasou, kde jsou stolky a židličky a také okénko, kde prodávají výbornou zmrzlinu v kelímku. Somozřejmostí je i čisté WC.

Beautiful area, people are friendly. I enjoy walking my dog here and spending time enjoying the views.

Picturesque

Fantastic beach

Lovely beach, would get 5 stars if open air pool was done up and reopened.

Beautiful beach. Would give it 5 stars if the nearest toilets were not 1.5 miles away.

Lovely place for a walk along the beach

A beautiful beach, lovely flat golden sands. Great for children, families, couples.... well, anyone really. Lots of people had dogs. Only downside is the steep access to the beach if you have mobility issues. Parking is nearby which is £3 all day. There is a cafe/toilets at the beach. Great for amazing photos if you're a photographer.

Beautiful beach. No dogs in the summer months. Nice and clean with plenty of coffee shops and restaurants nearby

Nice & clean beach to relax and enjoy your time. It was a good experience for me as I spent my day watching tides, good food and sunbathed.

Gorgeous beach 🏖️ big parking with charging station

A beautiful beach! Best summer spot and not so busy

Lovely beach area

Lovely for a relaxed stroll, watching the surfers even in 4°

My favourite place, it's a beautiful coast with sutch calming vibes to me personally. I recommend this for walks, sights & lovely chips whilst gazing out at the sea

Amazing beach with golden clean sand. Beach is maintained and kids friendly.

Great for a walk with the kids.

Great surfing spot. Good for running or walking when the tide is out. At this time of the year dogs are only allowed one one side of the beach.

A very beautiful place.

Beautiful beach with activities available such as the local surf club. Friendly life guards on duty to ensure the publics safety. Fab cafe right on the beach if you wish to kick back and enjoy the view.

Yess im here

Good beach

One of the most beautiful place son England and Im so incredibly lucky to live by this view!

Absolutely love it..Nice and clean..Blue waters..amazing!!!

Love swimming here, the lifeguards are class and it's only a short paddle from Cullercoats for the surf or rock pools

Its sooo fun

Great place for walks with family and pets. I would say, however, that you can get nicer views either north or south of here. Finding a dead bird was surely unusual. While beaches are obviously beautiful, this one is just like any other. Unremarkable, though still nice.

Lovely walk early sunday morning

Very good place for everyone.cheap parking. Great place for relaxing

Great afternoon surfing

Good place

(Translated by Google) Beautiful beach! Worth a visit in every season (Original) Wunderschöner Strand! Einen Besuch wert zu jeder Jahreszeit

Lovely beach, if only we had the weather to suit! Two restaurants on either end, one called The View and one called Crusoes. Parking directly opposite the beach but it's not free.

Amazing Beach, including 2 restaurants

Beautiful, clean and family friendly.

Longsands sandcastle

Awesome beach for long walk best time spent typically 2 hrs easily

Nice long stretch of beach to walk along antime of the year.

What an amazing place to spend the day, parking is three quid, loads to see and do, amazing beach, toilets, crazy golf,park,maze etc all close by. First time here as we live in Plymouth, superb area, loved it

Well known place for the local "surfers". If you want to take the first steps in your surfing career, hmm... this waves will be the perfect start. BTW great sand and beach for the whole family!

Beautiful place to walk the dog. Peaceful and easy to keep your distance from others. Check the tide table first though.

Completed click and collect on the app and was handed my food at the time slot ordered. Fish and chips was excellent well worth a visit. My advice would be use the Web site and order on click and collect as just going to order they are queued In the street.

Beautiful clean beach with really soft sand. Dogs are restricted in some areas so no nasty surprises, but they can still be walked in other parts so everyone catered for.

Very pretty beach, especially when you look at it during the sunset from the ledge just above the beach where you can see the whole beach. The sea is obviously freezing but can be refreshing on extremely hot days. During summer you can still get the sun as late at 20:00 in the evenings. It's also a very easy place to get to with the local metro station, and there are plenty of places to get food nearby

Nice n clean

(Translated by Google) Nice large beaches, great for a walk. Beautiful views in almost any weather :) (Original) Pěkné rozlehlé pláže, super pro procházku. Krásné výhledy snad za každého počasí :)

On a Sunday morning one of the best places to be to blow the cob webs away

Lovely beach went surfing there last week. Nice sand and splendid weather throughout summer.

A gorgeous long beach made better by visitors taking their rubbish away after visiting it.

Beautiful stretch of sandy beach great for walking and watching sunsets.

Amazing beach with a beautiful view, lots of activities and surfing for the interested. There's a small river in which children can enjoy building a dam or castle.

Great in the winter for your dog's. Great in the summer for you kids. Propped up by snazzy cafés either end.

Lovely stretch of glorious golden sand with Tynemouth Priory and the piers as backdrop to the south.

We had a great time here, lovely walk along the beach. We all enjoyed and took over 2 hours to walk along my daughter had a good time running around then we all warmed up with hot drinks in the fish and chip cafe, great winter walk would recommend.

Visited with some family up from Manchester. They loved every minute of the day we spent around longsands, great time when the sun's out

Beautiful place to go You need to see for yourself

A stormy day ideal for a brisk walk

Beautiful golden sands, clean water, lovely cafés.

Great beach for dog walking, car park nearby but can be busy at times

Beautiful beach

Lovely beach, usually clean and great for a longer walk on the sand, when the tide is out there's plenty of interesting rockpools as well.

Great place lovely beach

Wonderful beach with soft sand and great waves and surfing opportunities. Only down side is that the beach is dog restricted, with one side for dogs, and the other dogs are banned until Sept 30th. This is completely ignored, and people let their dogs run free across the whole beach. One of our party has an acute phobia of dogs, and we thought we'd be able to enjoy part of the beach without dogs, but this was not to be.

Best beach in the North East.

Beautiful dog friendly beach, very clean

One of the best beaches on the North East coast, clean and popular with families, surfers, well worth visiting

Lovely clean beach

Best beach in the north east one end dog friendly the other surfing paradise

Just the sun and heat is missing from these beautiful beach

Love this beach just 2 minutes drive from my house great beach clean and dog friendly one end for dogs with a sign displaying witch side you must be on plenty of parking close by and plenty places for food coffee alcohol must admit this is one of the best beaches in the UK also two more beaches one either side of Tynemouth

New years day not the best day to go absolutely heaving with people and dogs, bright and a brisk wind.

Great place to visit

Beautiful and spacious beach! Sea was a quite cold but gorgeous beach!

Car parking is awkward but cheap. The beach is stunning. Really clean, more so than our local Lincolnshire beaches

Lovely beach

What a beauty this beach is with vast stretches of sand and a massive car park with 3 £ all day charges. It does say dogs are not allowed between May and September but you always see someone with a dog.

Lovely day at Longsands, not the busiest I've seen the beach in the summer. It was just about right. Great views and scenery from crusoes, deep blue calm sea. Highly recommend

Cool beach.. cool water... Cool life🌊

Popular place for walking dogs, surfing, fishing and generally blowing away the cobwebs.

Amazing place, every day is different 💙💛

Such a lovely golden sands beach, very clean, and there's a cafe shack for coffee and snacks......

Beautiful beach, great for a relax. There are some cafes / refreshment areas locally if needed!

I take this stunning coastline for granted. What an amazing beach. Very well maintained. What a lovely view on a lovely day, watching the surfers and the dogs running around

Lovely stretch of safe sandy beach a short walking distance from Tynemouth. Very clean and well looked after. From May 1st the main area is restricted to no dogs but there is a long adjacent are for unrestricted dog friendly use. Lots of parking at a reasonable price.

The RNLI festival was under way on the day, but the beach is lovely. A nice bay, popular for Paddle Boarding.

Just the best beach bar none

Beautiful endless beach, great parking facilities near, nice cafes
