Seaburn Beach

Tynemouth Longsands is among a handful of seaside locations in the region to get recognition of the highest standards of cleanliness, facilities and management.

Northumbria Police have confirmed some of the bones or suspected body parts found on the Sunderland coast in recent weeks are human.

Police were called just before 1.30pm on Friday 29 March - the beginning of the Easter weekend - to reports of suspected bones near Queen's Parade.
