Sea Front Location
Southcliff Apartments are bang on the sea front overlooking picturesque Brown's Bay in the delightful fishing village and conservation area of Cullercoats on the North East coast, just around the corner from pretty Cullercoats Bay, and 5 mins walk to the rolling blue flag beaches of Whitley Bay and Tynemouth. You simply couldn't be closer to the sea - the apartments are in a privileged position on a quiet Victorian crescent with nothing between you and the sea other than a quiet cliff top walkway, so you can enjoy uninterrupted sea views. There are excellent transport links - Newcastle is just 20 mins, Tyne Tunnel (A19 and A1) are just 10 mins. The Metro Staion is just 3 mins walk providing direct access to Newcastle. And there is free parking on your doorstep. This is also an ideal base from which to explore The majestic Northumberland Coast and historic Hadrian's Wall. (See Contact Page for Travel Directions).
'So much to see and do right on your doorstep!'
Explore Cullercoats Bay with its Smugglers Caves and marine research facility, popular with families and still used by fishing cobles. The RNLI Lifeboat operates here and you can often watch them on training exercises. Go early morning rockpooling, visit the exciting Blue Reef Aquarium, Tynemouth park boating lake, climb St Mary's Lighthouse or explore Tynemouth's ancient priory, all within easy walking distance. For day trips, explore the many country houses, gardens and castles - spectacular Alnwick Castle where Harry Potter was filmed, is just 45 minutes drive.
Close at hand are local shops, lovely Italian, Indian and Chinese restaurants, not to mention Bills traditional fish and chip shop, which is always a hit with our guests. The Queen's Head pub just around the corner serves good traditional fare.
We are proud to have 'adopted' Browns Bay in association with Britain's Marine Conservation Society, doing our bit to help preserve the natural beauty of this beautiful coastline.
Take an easy day trip to explore the Roman Wall, Northumberland, Durham, York, Edinburgh and the Lake District.
