Only 30mins away for us so excellent 2 night weekend getaway. We know the area well but enjoy this coastline so much we never tire of it. Not sure why it has Whitley Bay as its address as its a few miles up the coast in Seaton Sluice, here there are a choice of pubs, best of which is the Kings Arms. Pub next to site (Delaval Arms) is a bit tired inside but people are always friendly and we had a nice lunch. Yes, the site does slope but its not too much of an issue and means that good views are available from most pitches. The only problems it caused me was when the wheels came off my wastemaster and I had to chase them down the site, sure it made those watching chuckle!
