Tynemouth lighthouse standsat 26 metres, emitting a white navigation light that over-arches the horizon for 42km. Its lens rotates every 10 seconds with 3 white flashes as the foghorn of the tower gives one blast every 10 seconds to aid with navigation during times of reduced visibility.
Tynemouth Pier extends 900 metres out to sea and on a calm fine day the walk to the pier lighthouse is rewarded with some magnificent views of the river entrance and back towards Tynemouth Priory & Castle.
The pier is a Grade II Listed building and dates back to Victorian times when its construction was a major feat of engineering.
Together with the navigational buoys, the Tynemouth, South Shields and Herd Groyne lighthouses are fully functioning and operated by Port of Tyne as a navigational aid for ships approaching and entering the River Tyne.
