Park View
Park View is a shopping street that runs roughly north to south parallel to the seafront. It is a continuation of Whitley Road, the town's principal thoroughfare, but is particularly well known locally for being the location of numerous independent shops, rather than chains or franchises, that cater for a wide variety of consumer demand.
In 2011, "Park View Collective" was established. Park View Collective are independent traders, businesses and service providers located in and around Park View in Whitley Bay. The collective was created to bring them all together under one umbrella to give a unified approach to letting people know about this area of Whitley Bay. Their website parkviewcollective.co.uk details the diversity of shops along one street.
