About Lighthouse Lookout

Lighthouse Lookout is a stylish two-storey apartment in a spectacular seafront setting overlooking Roker Pier and its iconic lighthouse. With uninterrupted views from both the living room and double and single bedroom, this well-equipped coastal holiday home offers a front-row seat to some of the most dramatic sea views in the North East. Sleeping five guests in three thoughtfully presented bedrooms, it's a brilliant choice for families, friends or couples seeking a spacious, self-catering holiday property on the coast. Wake up to the sound of waves, spot paddleboarders from the window, and if you're lucky, catch a glimpse of dolphins playing in the bay. Just a five-minute walk from the beach and with its own private parking for two cars, Lighthouse Lookout combines comfort, convenience and one of the best vantage points in Roker.

The apartment is set in a sought-after spot at the seafront in Roker, which lies on the coast of the North Sea and is known for its beautiful seafront, sandy beaches and iconic Roker Pier. Roker features a stunning coastal path with breath taking views, and is perfect for walkers, joggers, and cyclists to explore the natural landscape along the coastline. Known for its sandy beach, proud maritime heritage and vibrant mix of dining options and relaxing beachfront cafes with beautiful coastal views, Roker is a favourite for both locals and visitors seeking traditional seaside charm with a modern twist. Wander along the promenade to find independent cafés, restaurants and fish and chip shops, or head to the Roker Hotel just a few minutes' walk away for a relaxed drink overlooking the sea. Latimers Fishmonger and Seafood Deli, sells local, sustainable, health and delicious fish and shellfish - an award winning family run fishmongers! The beach is dog-friendly all year round in certain zones, and with a network of walking and cycle paths running along the coast, you can leave the car parked up and explore on foot or two wheels. Experience a wide range of watersports and activities at the adventure centre, including sea kayaking, paddle and surfboarding, raft building, coasteering, Pier jumping and much more; and all just a 5 minute walk away!

There's plenty to explore beyond Roker, too. Head ten minutes south to Souter Lighthouse (National Trust) for windswept walks and panoramic cliff-top views. You can climb the lighthouse, explore its working history and the grounds include a Foghorn House. Explore The Leas, 2.5 miles of cliff top grassland and wildflower meadows, with sweeping views of the England Coastal Path. Alternatively, venture 20 minutes along the coast to Seaham, recognised as one of the best known seagrass beaches in the world. Families will love a day at Beamish, the North's award-winning open-air museum just 30 minutes inland, while history lovers and culture seekers can take a trip to the cathedral city of Durham, also within easy reach. The local area offers a theatre, galleries, and other cultural attractions, and the wider North East coastline is packed with castles, walking routes and hidden coves. Whether you're planning a family holiday, coastal weekend or extended getaway, Lighthouse Lookout offers the best of seaside living in a comfortable, well-located self-catering home away from home.
