What is Whitley Bay?
'''Whitley Bay''' is a seaside town in [[North Tyneside]] in [[Tyne and Wear]], England. It used to be in [[Northumberland]] and has been part of Tyne and Wear since 1974. The opening of the North Tyne Loop [[railway line]] in 1882, connecting the coastal villages to [[Newcastle upon Tyne|Newcastle,]] helped the [[tourism]] industry in the town. The railway is now the [[Tyne and Wear Metro]]. [[Category:Towns in Tyne and Wear]] {{UK-stub}}
