The neighborhood, business owners, and visitors who frequented the place together agreed that over the years, Tynemouth has become one of the busiest towns in the borough of Tyne and Wear in England. The influx in the numbers of tourists can be attributed to the chains of pubs, restaurants, and teas and café rooms, not to mention the many scenic and historic places that are considered the pride and joy of Tynemouth.
Kids First
Families often come to Tynemouth, finding the place one of the family-friendly vacation destinations with activities kids would love. Keeping kids busy will give you a taste of what vacation is all about. The beaches are sometimes enough to fill their day with adventure. Besides the water activities, the young people would also find something to enjoy at Tynemouth Park in Grand Parade. The Pirate-themed maze, golf course adventure, giant inflatable jungle wipeout, boating lake, and the Clocktower café are blockbusters for kids.
Don’t let your stay in Tynemouth go without having your kids have a close encounter with extraordinary sea life around the world on the Blue Reef Aquarium. You will never worry because even if it rains, you are sure, your children will not have a spoiled beach fun.
Getting Boozy And The Foods
Tynemouth has rapidly become more and more popular with drinkers over the years. Quite a number of people would frequent Front Street to enjoy a pint or more of their fav drinks as the evenings come and weekends clocks in. Visitors mostly would fill out most of the good night spots, bars, pubs, and restaurants.
The heightening popularity of Tynemouth as food and drink destination has been attributed to the favorite dining rooms like Riley’s Fish Shack located in King Edward’s Bay, Longsands Fish Kitchen. It’s hard to resist not to have a taste of their booze when you sit by the bars of Barca Art Café, Ora, Lui’s Wine Bar & Bistro, Salutation and Hugo’s.
Although Christmas and Easter are really the peaks when it comes to sales, coffee shops are happy to keep the business with a consistent income throughout the year. These are the shops that serve teas, coffees, and hot chocolates partnered with cakes and homemade sorbets and ice creams.
First-Class Beaches
I think Tynemouth will forever be known for its excellent and beautiful beaches. The main attraction of the town all through the summer season.
King Edwards and Longsands were once again recognized for their clean water, tiptop facilities, and litter-free sands. They were recognized, receiving Seaside Award. One recognition they received is from TripAdvisor who gave them a Certificate of Excellence.
Festivities
Numerous events are being organized each year. They have Tynemouth Beach Volleyball Tournament and beer and food festivals. The biggest event is the yearly Mouth of the Tynemouth festival which is highlighted with open-air concerts.
These festivities have brought thousands of people from different places like America, Europe, and New Zealand to Tynemouth. This makes the town a vibrant place, buzzing with people of different colors.
Shopping
Dozens of stalls cramped up the recently-restored Metro station every weekend. Here you can buy bric-a-brac and great secondhand, rare finds. There are also specialized traders for flowers, toys, records, books, tools, cheese, veggies, and meats, and more you won’t just see in any markets elsewhere.
Retail shops don’t only cater to visitors. Locals and lots of students and youngsters didn’t have to go out of the village just to look for things they need whether for school work or DIY projects.
Being named the best seaside and summer destination in the United Kingdom, Tynemouth has become one of the busiest tourist destinations. The business and trade boomed significantly. But what makes Tynemouth a real winner is that despite all the modernity and strings of new establishments, it was able to retain the village feel which is what visitors and even locals loved about Tynemouth.
