Tynemouth is a village located at the mouth of the River Tyne on the North-East coast of England, 6 miles from the centre of the city of Newcastle upon Tyne. It has stunning beaches permitting a wide range of water sports, including surfing, sailing, kite surfing, wind surfing, jetski, sub-aqua, swimming and canoeing. Prominent on the headland overlooking the river are the Tynemouth Priory and Castle, dating back to the 11th Century. The village itself is now a conservation area mostly comprised of buildings from the 18th and 19th century. 

There are various events in the area throughout the year, including regular markets. Local businesses include a range of shops, pubs and restaurants.

There is now a webcam providing regular (every 2 minutes) updates of the view onto Longsands Beach.
