Sandsides Guest House Whitley Bay is superbly placed right by the coast and a beautiful sandy beaches of Whitley Bay, Tynemouth and Northumbria, we provide an ideal setting for laid-back family and couple stays. Sandsides Guest House is a beautiful Victorian building and we offer you a home from home bed and breakfast accommodation. It’s traditional English character and ideal location, situated on the main route from the seafront to the town centre, facing onto a new lottery-funded family park. Sandsides is less than five minutes walk from Whitley Bay’s promenade, Spanish City dome and award winning sandy beach making us the perfect choice for hassle-free stays. Sandsides is very family friendly, we don’t take large groups or stag and hen parties. Situated on a quiet street the guest house offers peaceful relaxation and is within walking distance of shops, bars and restaurants.
In addition to offering lovely sea views, Sandsides is directly opposite a brand-new children’s play park. A pleasant two-minute stroll takes you to the Park View area, where you’ll find many delightful little cafés and bistros. Just a five-minute walk, and you’ll find yourself in the centre of town. Whitley Bay is the next town along from vibrant Tynemouth, with its long stretch of sandy beach, popular with surfers. Transport links are excellent, with frequent buses stopping nearby, and the closest Metro station just a 10-minute walk away. Whitley Bay also has a very good link to the DFDS ferry to Amsterdam from Royal Quays in North Shields.
