Dog-friendly Holidays in Whitley Bay
If you’re ready to escape to the coast with your pooch, head to the heart of the Northumberland coastline. The Northern section of Whitley Bay Beach is dog-friendly and offers miles of golden sands. You can also enjoy Longsand North near Cullercoats which is backed by dunes for your dog to roam across.
For more outdoor fun, discover St. Mary's Lighthouse on St. Mary's Island. You can only access the island at low tide, but if you and your four-legged friend are up to the 137 steps that lead to the lighthouse you'll be rewarded with the best view of the Northumberland coast there is.
Of course, no trip to Whitley Bay would be complete without amazing seafood. The seafront has a number of award-winning options to choose from.
For an authentic seaside dining experience, we’d also recommend the dog-friendly Riley's Fish Shack, just down the road in Tynemouth. Named the 'eating experience of the year' by Jay Rayner, the shack was originally a food stall and has grown to encompass two whole shipping containers right on the beach at King Edwards Bay.
The Whitley Bay Promenade has plenty of independent gems to shop and eat at too. And if it's raining outside we recommend taking some shelter inside The Rendezvous Cafe for some tea, cakes and ice cream.
