Beskrivning
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 blåhake, nunnestenskvätta, videsångare, brunsångare, lundsångare, trastsångare, and many more. The cliffs on the adjacent Priory hold a substantial colony of tretåig mås and a smaller number of stormfågel, and have one or two wintering svart rödstjärt in most years. The mostly stony beaches are good for roskarl and skärsnäppa, as well as resident breeding skärpiplärka and an occasional prutgås 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 rosentärnas, and also attracts kustlabbs which chase the terns to make them drop their food. The large flocks of gulls (mostly Gråtrut) gathering here are also worth checking, with regular vittrut and Vitvingad trut in the winter.

Tillgänglighet
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.

Note that following severe storm damage in November 2021 (Storm Arwen), the North Pier is currently closed; due to the extent of the damage, this is expected to stay so for several years.
