The Sea Life Centre is very close by; there are lovely coastal trips and walks, beaches and rock pools to investigate. Birds and wildlife, history of the area and the fishing industry based nearby; activity around the Tyne estuary – this coastal area provides a wealth of activity and interesting sights.

North Tyneside Council is currently regenerating the Spanish City and Whitley Bay. The proposed £60 million scheme envisaged the full refurbishment of the Whitley Bay Playhouse and the creation of a cultural hub within the iconic Dome on the seafront although an alternative plan for regeneration has been proposed by a group called The Culture Quarter.
