NNorth East Surfing

Roker & Seaburn

Surf Spot

Description

Sunderland's two city beaches sit side by side. Roker, beside the pier and lighthouse, gets some protection and can be a fallback when a big northerly swell is too much elsewhere; Seaburn, just north, is the more open beach and a friendly place to find a small wave.
