The Observatory

Whitley Bay

North East England, Northumberland, Tyne and Wear

Set in the heart of North Shields’ historic Fish Quay, this eco-friendly coastal retreat perfectly blends maritime heritage with modern luxury. From the rooftop, watch fishing boats returning with the day’s catch, enjoy views of the bustling seafront, and even spot dolphins in the bay. Step outside to discover seafood restaurants, artisan cafés, and lively bars, or try your hand at paddleboarding, fishing, or cycling along scenic coastal routes.

A coastal walk leads to Tynemouth’s Castle and Priory, Longsands Beach, and the charming Front Street with its weekend market. Whitley Bay and St. Mary’s Lighthouse are just a short drive away, and the Metro offers easy access to Newcastle.

Inside, this stylish two-storey property offers sweeping sea views, a spacious lounge and dining area, and a super-king bedroom designed for comfort. Relax in the sauna or alfresco bathtub, then head upstairs to the well-equipped kitchen, cosy lounge with wood burner, and balcony with panoramic views stretching for miles.

After a day exploring, unwind with a drink on the balcony or in the private patio garden and watch the sun set over the sea — the perfect end to a North East coastal escape.
