Visit the UK seaside town with dolphins, a music festival and sandy beachesSEA YOU THERE!

This little-known seaside town in the North East could be a perfect UK holiday destination for families this year.

As well as being home to stunning beaches it also hosts a music festival on an historic site overlooking a bay from where dolphins can be spotted.

Tynemouth, as its name suggests, is situated right by the mouth of the river Tyne, along the North East coastline.

It's home to one of the region's best-loved waterfronts, Longsands beach, which boasts more than a kilometre of white sand, as well as a designated swimming area.

There's plenty for families to do away from the sea too, including the Lost World Adventure crazy golf and the Tynemouth Aquarium, home to seals, sharks and even marmosets.

Wildlife can also be seen in its natural habitat, with dolphins often spotted swimming by both Longsands beach, and Cullercoats, just a short trip along the coast.

The town's biggest live music event is the annual Mouth of the Tyne festival, held among the picturesque ruins of Tynemouth priory which offers a stunning backdrop to shows.
