Beach.

Hendon beach. Sunderland has beautiful beaches and North of the river Wear are resorts that were hugely popular in times gone by. Now there are dozens of places to eat (when they are open) and a beautiful promenade.
This beach is south of the river and a much more industrial landscape but still very beautiful. It is always very quiet. We are a hardy bunch as you can see there's a small child wading into the North Sea up to their waist in November.
