Brown's Bay - Whitley Bay
Brown's Bay is a small coastal bay located between the bays of Whitley Bay and Cullercoats. At the north of Brown's Bay are Table Rocks and to the south is Brown's Point. There are substantial coastal defences here, forming a promenade area, and a small beach, depending on the tide. Brown's Bay is a popular scuba dive site, in part, because there are three ship wrecks here. The 'Warkworth Castle' cargo vessel ran aground at Browns Point 16th November 1876. The 'SS Butetown' coal/cargo vessel was wrecked here during sorms on the 4th December 1917. The Greek steamship 'Zephyros' ran aground at Brown’s Point on the 26th February 1947.
