Cullercoats bay has a small sheltered beach that is situated between the long sweeping beaches at Whitley Bay and Tynemouth. The beach is very popular with families in summer and a boat launching ramp is still used by a few fishing cobles. The lifeboat station is still active with an inshore lifeboat based there. View over Cullercoats Bay to the breakwaters. View down the south ramp to the beach. View to the north side of the bay.

These photos are from a small caravan site on the coast a few miles from Annan, where we stayed at for a few nights during a holiday in Dumfires and Galloway, Scotland. The first two photos are views of the site followed by a view of highland cattle feeding in the field next to the site. The last two photos are views of the Solway Firth taken just outside the site. View across the Solway Firth to Cumbria.

The lighthouse has been a landmark on the coast for many years, guiding seafarers until it was made redundant and is now a museum. The photos on these pages have been taken at various times of day - sunrise.
