Watts Slope


Watts Slope is a short road and walkway, which runs down to Whitley Sands in Whitley Bay, with the Promenade to the north of it and the recreational area outside Spanish City to the south. Watts Slope was redesigned and widened, and the public toilets there were modernised in 2016 as part of the 'Seafront Masterplan' regeneration scheme. The former Boadwalk Cafe, located next to Watts Slope, was demolished in 2015 as part of the scheme to make a larger recreational area. A permanent Di Meo's icecream kiosk opened on Watts Slope in 2017 (the main Di Meo's ice cream parlour is on Marine Avenue). The public toilets on Watts Slope were refurbished in 2021. The public toilets were temporarily transformed into The Seagull nightclub for filming of series nine of detective drama 'Vera'. Northerly Swell Surfside Emporium (est. 2021), which resnts paddle board, surfboards, and bycicles, is located on Watts Slope.
