If you want a place to learn English where you can go for a good swim or a walk along golden-sanded beaches after class, Whitley Bay is just what you’re looking for. English courses in Whitley Bay offer the soothing atmosphere of an old resort town, with enough attractions to occupy the hours after courses are over. For a beautiful view of the North Sea, you can’t do much better than looking out over it from the top of a 137-step high lighthouse, after which you can go visit the small local nature reserve or explore the rich history of the place, reaching back to the year 1100. But it’s not all quiet and solitary pleasures – come the weekend or the Bank Holidays, and the young and young at heart come from all over to sample the local nightlife, go away well satisfied. For sports fans, there are the local football teams and games, and you can take in the North Tyneside International Youth Football Tournament to see the players who will grow up to be stars. At the Playhouse you’ll find a variety of productions, with films, comedy shows, theatre and music performances to suit all tastes. And if you’re around at the start of December, you can catch the unique Whitley Bay Saint Nicholas Festival, with its street entertainment and its Christmas market featuring French and Northumbrian food and craft sellers. Take a look at the refurbishing of the Spanish City amusement park, and if it’s all getting too much for you, just pop over to Newcastle-on-Tyne. An English school in Whitley Bay offers a unique environment in which to learn the language, with enough variety outside of classes to satisfy any taste.
