Longsands Beach (Tynemouth) (Long Sands)
Half a mile of golden sand in an urban setting, Long Sands offers a range of activities, including surfing and swimming.
Accessible at both ends via an access road and steps from the seafront. A ten minute walk from both Cullercoats metro station to the north and Tynemouth metro station to the south.
The beach is referred to as both Long Sands and Longsands and in our opinion both are acceptable, although I’m sure someone will put me straight on that! Either way the name pretty much sums up what is Tynemouth’s longest beach.
