Two incredible beaches, lots of places to eat and drink, and a swathe of independent shops mean it's no surprise Tynemouth has been named on the Sunday Times Best Places to Live List.
The list, which was published this morning, selected 70 of the best places to live across the country, with the North Tyneside coastal town getting the nod alongside Morpeth in Northumberland. Judges celebrate improving towns, village or city centres; attractive, well-designed homes and locations bursting with community spirit - the latter those who already live in Tynemouth will be very familiar with.
The article read: "Newcastle’s smart seaside suburb is a longstanding fixture of the Best Places to Live list, and once again, it’s too good to leave out. Whether you’re surfing off a Blue Flag beach, browsing among the 150 stalls in the undercover market or tucking into the freshest seafood at Riley’s Fish Shack, it’s impossible not to enjoy the laid-back lifestyle."
