Whitley Bay: is fringed by wide sands which stretch northwards towards the more rugged coastline of Northumberland. The modern holiday resort offers safe seabathing, amusement parks, an ice rink and a large golf-course. Whitley Bay is also known for its lively nightlife. There are plenty of bars and nightclubs and the Whitley Bay Playhouse, with its theatre and cinema, offers a wide range of entertainment. St Mary's Island, the main coastal feature of Whitley Bay, lies a short distance offshore. A miniature version of Holy Island further north, the island is joined to the mainland by a short causeway that can be crossed on foot at low tide. The famous St Mary's Lighthouse was built in 1898 but ceased operation in 1984. The redundant lighthouse and former keepers cottages are now a Visitor's Centre. Visitors can climb to the top of the tower and admire the spectacular views along the coast. There is also a nature reserve with intriguing rock pools, beach and cliff-top grassland.
