Looking for a last minute romantic getaway with your other half this Valentine's Day? Those who live in the North East won't have to go far, as Whitley Bay has been named one of the best weekend breaks in the UK.
A study from Parkdean Resorts found the North Tyneside town one of the best places in the country for a romantic weekend getaway ahead of Valentine's Day along with Torquay, Wemyss Bay and Carmarthen Bay.
With walks along the beach, a swathe of independent shops, and plenty of places to eat and drink, and a few amusement arcades, it's described as a 'must-see for Brits who want to spend quality time with their better halves.'
