Once upon a time in Hawaii, a man called Duke Kahanamoku grabbed a 10-foot longboard and the sport of surfing hit the big time. Salt water, sun, sand and a blissfully simple existence combine in surfing to make it an addictive way of life.

    Tynemouth Long Sands

    Posted by AlistairMenzies 26 May 2007

    Half a mile of golden sand, and stretching a good distance back to the cliff slopes. Ideal for an afternoon in the sun, swimming and with a wonderful surf - it's one of the UK Surfing Championship locations. In the cooler months it's perfect for walking, jogging and sport; you'll even catch the Toon training there on occasions.

    Tynemouth is an old village bursting with charm and history. Located at the mouth of the River Tyne, (surprisingly!), ten miles east of Newcastle it is easily accesible by the local Metro service or car.
