Tynemouth Haven

As the River Tyne meets the North Sea between the coastal towns of North and South Shields, two enormous piers, mark the way. On the North Tyneside part of the mouth of the tyne, you can find a small coastal shore, surrounded by steep cliffs. This is popular with coastal waders, Cormorants and Eiders all year round.
