A picturesque coastal haven, Cullercoats Beach boasts a stunning stretch of golden sand, gently sloping towards the North Sea. The beach is dotted with an array of colorful beach huts, adding a touch of nostalgia and charm to the scenery. As the tide ebbs and flows, it reveals a vast expanse of flat, compact sand, perfect for sunbathing, beach games, and leisurely strolls. The surrounding cliffs, worn smooth by the elements, provide a dramatic backdrop to the beach, while the nearby village offers a range of amenities and attractions within easy reach.

This is a small beach divided into two parts. The north section is the larger and most popular area with families and swimmers. Seperated by a small section of cliff the southern part is equipped to launch watercraft from the slipway and facilitates training classes for canoeists. The north section is also home to the Lifeboat Station and part of Newcastle Universities Marine Biology Department. Unlike Long Sands and Whitley Bay there's no seperate dog area on the beach, they are banned from May through September. The two piers do afford some protection to the beach when the sea is rough but the reason I've only given 3 stars is being small it soon gets overcrowded and also the water quality isn't as good as other beaches because of it's topography and a water authorities outlet pipe near by. I confirmed this opinion of water quality with a number of life guards. I wouldn't swim there. The south pier is a bit higher than the north pier so you can walk along this whilst waves are still breaking over the north pier.
Lovely sheltered beach, there were plenty of people dipping in the sea and appeared clean.
We only live a couple of hundred yards away from the bay so use it regularly. In my opinion it's one of the best places in the world. It's a reasonably shallow but large semi circular bay protected naturally by rocks and then two large stone piers. When the sun's shining and the weather is calm you can almost forget you're in the north east of England. That said the North sea will remind you quick enough! At high tide it's really good fun to jump off of the pier ends and the shock of the cold sea adds to the challenge! It's a really good set off point for paddle boarding or kayaking too. I think of the area as coastal rather than seaside as there aren't lots of seaside style shops or arcades which is a pleasant difference to Whitley bay up the road. There's plenty of good cafe's though selling hot and cold food and quality ice cream.
Love this Bay, caves, swimming, life boats, small and compact.
