Sandwich your beach visit with a delicious ice cream.

Okay, I'm biased because I live here, but Whitley Bay has one of the best beaches in the world - loads of sand, luscious seaweed, intriguing rock pools and an amazing view north towards the wonderfully photogenic St Mary's Lighthouse.

When you have had enough of exploring the delights left behind by the tide, head up Watts Slope onto Marine Avenue (beside the Spanish City dome which is currently being refurbished) for 'real' fish and chips from one of the many cafes and follow it with a traditionally made Italian ice cream from Delaval Ices at the Cafe Mediterraneo.

This is THE fish and chop shop bar none. I've lived all over the UK but this is the best chippy you'll find.

Monkseaton, just up from the Metro station. Follow the aroma and join the queue!
