Tynemouth King Edwards Bay

Status: No water quality alerts in place

A gently sloping, sheltered sandy bay located just to the north of the mouth of the River Tyne with Tynemouth Castle towering over it. Enclosed by high cliffs, the rural quality of the beach is juxtaposed by the urban area surrounding it. There are no sewer overflows discharging directly onto King Edwards Bay, however a large number of overflows discharge into the River Tyne just south of the beach.
