About This Place

Graham’s Sands is a small, hidden beach near Trow Point just south of the main South Shields coastline. It’s less well-known than nearby Sandhaven or Littlehaven, which is a large part of its appeal. Quiet, sheltered from the wind by dramatic cliffs and grassy headlands.  --> The beach itself is a mix of sand and rock, with a number of rock pools exposed at low tide. Access is via a steep path from the cliff top near the coastal path, which keeps it from ever getting busy. It’s worth it for the views out across the North Sea, with seabirds circling overhead and the occasional ship passing in the distance.
