Whitley Bay is a resort town in Northumberland. The holiday industry emerged in the area followed the opening of the North Tyne Loop Railway in 1882. The Spanish City, a leisure complex first opened in 1910, has a 180-ft long Renaissance-style frontage and is known for its distinctive dome. The Whitley Bay Pleasure Gardens (sadly closed in 1999) was a famous fairground. St Mary’s Island is the site of a lighthouse, one of the town’s landmarks. The town is within the council area of North Tyneside.
