A Snow Day on Longsands

Tynemouth Longsands beneath a rare blanket of snow, the white shoreline curving towards the unmistakable spire of St George’s Church. Winter sunshine, blue skies and the North Sea turn one of Tynemouth’s best-loved beaches into an extraordinary coastal scene.

Longsands stretches for more than a mile along the North Tyneside coast and has been a favourite with generations of beachgoers and surfers. Overlooking the bay, St George’s Church has formed part of Tynemouth’s distinctive skyline since the 19th century.
