Littlehaven Beach

Reviewed By Dr_Waugh - Newcastle upon Tyne, United Kingdom

Littlehaven beach is a lovely sheltered beach, it’s within the river mouth/estuary defences and the south tyne pier provides protection. There’s a hotel to the north and a small bright red lighthouse on a small pier called Herd Groyne. You can stand on this to watch ships passage into and out of the river. The beach itself is a nice crescent of sand with a car park behind. There’s also a minchella’s at the southern end of the car park for beverages and ice creams. We often come here to eat fish and chips and take in the view.
