Cullercoats Bay

Surf Spot

Description

A tiny, picturesque harbour bay between two stone piers, best known for its fishing heritage and artists' colony. It only breaks on bigger swells that are too much for the open beaches either side, and space is limited. More often a place to check from the top than to surf.
