The Beacon

The Beacon is a pub in Whitley Bay where dogs are welcome inside in a designated area, so the whole group can settle in together whatever the weather.

You'll find it on Earsdon Road, under two miles from the town centre and the long sweep of beach that brings most visitors this way. It's an Ember Inns pub, which means food is served throughout the day and there's a steady, reliable welcome for dog owners who'd rather not leave anyone outside. The opening hours stretch from mid-morning into the evening—10am at weekends, 11am on weekdays—and stay open until 11pm most nights, midnight on Fridays and Saturdays. There's free on-site parking, which takes the guesswork out of arrival.

Whether you're timing a visit around a coastal walk or need a table after a morning on the sand, it's the kind of place that takes the guesswork out of finding somewhere dog-friendly when plans change or the weather turns.
