Tynemouth in North Shields is a popular holiday and seaside destination. Here you will find the fantastic Longsands Beach, an abandoned Tynemouth Outdoor Swimming Pool and The Grand Hotel. We explore all of these and give you an idea of what it's like at Tynemouth Beach this year.

We being this 4K Walk at Percy Gardens and Sharpness Point right next to Effard Rocks. From here we make our way along and down to a long abandoned Tynemouth Outdoor Pool and Long Sands Beach for a look at the beautiful golden sand and seafront.

Looking across the beach we can see where Tynemouth Plaza once stood before it burnt down in a fire in 1996.

As we wander along the seafront and beach we come to Longsands Surf School and then up onto Grand Parade where we finish at The Tynemouth Grand Hotel.

Now a bit about the history of what we are seeing:

Tynemouth outdoor swimming pool was first opened on 30th May 1925 and was once one of the area's favourite and most prestigious attractions. It attracted holidaymakers and day trippers from miles around to enjoy swimming in the pool that was filled by the incoming tide of the North Sea!

However, the anticipated marine life never flourished and many residents feel the modifications failed to integrate into the surroundings, and funds are being raised to restore the pool and revitalise this once incredibly popular section of Long Sands Beach Tynemouth

Laurel and Hardy visited Tynemouth twice. On 1932 they stayed just one night at the Grand Hotel, in Percy Gardens.

In the afternoon Stan and Ollie attended a Civic Reception on the terrace at the back of Tynemouth Plaza (now demolished), overlooking the beach (see above), where they later presented prizes to around six hundred local orphans.

In 1952, while appearing at the Newcastle Empire, Laurel and Hardy ended up staying at Grand Hotel, in Tynemouth, as, after a mess up with their reservation, they couldn't get into the North British Station Hotel in Newcastle.

I hope you enjoy this short walk around Tynemouth North Shields just outside Newcastle Upon Tyne on Tyneside. I definitely enjoyed visiting and would recommend a visit to Tynemouth Beach
