Beautiful area of the country and a really nice and picturesque setting for the lighthouse and its small seal colony. Excellent car parking on the approach to the "Island". Check the tide times before you visit as it is only reachable at low tide. We were fortunate that the tide was out during our visit and we had about 60 minutes before we had to leave.
One of this crazy Light houses which during high tide are cut out from main land for couple of hours. So bear in mind you could be cut out and stranded if not careful. Views are mighty out there as there is a long coast area with long beach which stretch for miles. Lighthouse looks best at sundown or sunrise so prepare your camera and wait for it :. Perfect area for fresh air lovers ! You should find some cheap accommodation out there as plenty caravan parks in area.
Lovely place for a visit!! Plenty of car parking if you want to drive, but also walkable from Whitley Bay. The causeway is covered at high tide so you need to be careful if walking across, and it's worth checking the lighthouse open times if you fancy the trip up to the top! If your lucky, you'll also see some seals - on our visit, one of the kids counted about 70 of them, and my gut says there was far more than this!! If you intend to go up the lighthouse, then tickets can be purchased in the shop. The shop is fairly little, but some loos can be found here if needed. On our visit, the lighthouse was also doing some activities, and we booked in for a rockpooling session, which was really interesting. This is a really nice spot, and watching the seals was great!! If it hadn't got really windy and started raining, I'm pretty sure we would have spent even longer here! We were probably there for about 4 hours in total - that includes the rockpooling activity!
We always come for a walk around and to St. Mary's Lighthouse. It's a lovely morning or afternoon out with or without the kids. You can go rock pooling with the kids, sit and enjoy the wonderful view, take in the see breeze or go for a walk in the nature reserve. Just keep an eye out for the tide if you're walking onto the island, as you might get stuck there otherwise.
Just amazing walk with sea views. Perfect path around for prams or kids scoter, long walk promenade with memorial chairs. A car park just at corner. And free view of seals on stones.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo
One of my favourite places. A must visit. Needs a lick of paint but still an impressive lighthouse all the same. You can spot seals at certain times, although I've never seen one!
Magnificent walk along the coastline, check the tide times as the lighthouse is on an island accessible by a short causeway at low tide. Has a great view along the coast. A great way to spend an hour.Visited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo
Excellent place to visit while on a holiday, with family or friends. Two nearby parking spaces available with parking ticket at very low rates. Well maintained environment. The only thing I found missing is the boats to carry us to the island when then pathway is not the option for cars.Visited onPublic holidayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo
St Mary's is a great day or evening out! By day its an excellent visitor attraction with amazing info, history and views. I went to the recent stargazing evening too, which was enjoyable, but could have been organised a little better. I found that there were too many people and too few telescopes. Perhaps a ticketing system with 1 or 2 hour blocks might have worked better and controlled the numbers - the car park was a nightmare
It's absolutely amazing and magnificent place! The best part of it was going on the top of the lighthouse solo. Souvenir shop, has really nice price range, so everyone can afford at least 1 souvenir. Staff is friendly and helpful, plus knowns a lot about the history of the place.
