St Mary’s Lighthouse, off Whitley Bay, stands as a striking beacon of coastal drama. Accessible at low tide, its white tower rises against the wild North Sea, framed by crashing waves and rocky shores. Stormy skies amplify its isolation, while sunsets bathe it in golden light reflected in tidal pools. Seabirds and seals add life to the rugged scene, creating a dynamic interplay of nature’s beauty and resilience.
