Always full in the take-way and the restaurant is a lovely bistro style place, staff a good laugh. The Asian guy who owns it is very funny...]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/24377 Visit West Beach http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/23420 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/23420 One of the best beaches in the world http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/23230
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.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/23230 The Cove Fish Restaurant and Take Away http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/22871 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/22871 The Sherlock Holmes Pub http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/20193 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/20193 Christy's Fish Restaurant http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/20094 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/20094 Mr Cod http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18113 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18113 Silks Fish and Chips http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17945 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17945 Beshoff Brothers http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17643
It's 30 yards from the sea. Go for a walk along the seafront first, afterwards, or even during!]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17643 West Kirby http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17555
Take a picnic, enjoy sand, windsurfers and, on a good day, jaw-droppingly lovely views of the Welsh coast and Hilbre Island. Only walk to the island if you know what you're doing as the tide comes in fast, often behind you, and it is easy to get stuck!]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17555 Fish and chips at the Observatory http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17444 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17444 Margate attraction http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/16508

Choose from the old favourites (cod, haddock, scampi) or from the blackboard of current fresh fish. Plus, you get a great view.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/15166 Robin Hood's Bay http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/12947
The light is pearlescent - and the fish & chips at The Bay Hotel very good indeed.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/12947
