Beschrijving
A sheltered cove with shrubby cover offering migrating birds a safe place when caught by bad weather while flying over the North Sea, Tynemouth Haven has an impressive list of rarities, including Blauwborst, Bonte Tapuit, Raddes Boszanger, Bruine Boszanger, Grauwe Fitis, Grote Karekiet, and many more. The cliffs on the adjacent Priory hold a substantial colony of Drieteenmeeuw and a smaller number of Noordse Stormvogel, and have one or two wintering Zwarte Roodstaart in most years. The mostly stony beaches are good for Steenloper and Paarse Strandloper, as well as resident breeding Oeverpieper and an occasional Rotgans in autumn. In late summer, a large post-breeding tern roost gathers to feed where the River Tyne flows into the sea; it often includes a number of Dougalls Sterns, and also attracts Kleine Jagers which chase the terns to make them drop their food. The large flocks of gulls (mostly Zilvermeeuw) gathering here are also worth checking, with regular Grote Burgemeester and Kleine Burgemeester in the winter.

Toegang
Very easily accessible by public transport (bus 306 from Newcastle; also Tynemouth Metro rail station just 10 minutes walk away) as well as cycle or car. The hilly nature of the site makes wheelchair use difficult, though not impossible; it is easy for battery-powered wheelchairs, as the paving is good quality.
The site can also be seen from arriving and departing DFDS ferries on the Newcastle – Amsterdam route, with the seabirds at least viewable from the ferry.
