Grangetown Beach is a narrow strip of sand and shingle situated just to the south of the centre of Sunderland and the docks. The beach is backed by a promenade, suitable for cycling or jogging, some grassland, and a railway line. From Grangetown, there are views over the chimneys and industrial buildings of the docks. The England Coast Path, which was expected to be completed in 2020, passes through this area. The beach and promenade are popular with dog walkers. However, the area around the beach has been used for fly-tipping in the past, although measures are underway to prevent this problem from affecting the beach.
Ryhope Beach, located just north of Seaham, marks the border of Sunderland and Durham. This beach was once a popular seaside destination but has decreased in size due to coastal erosion. A small path leads to the beach, which is great for exploring rockpools at low tide or simply taking in the views. Ryhope Beach is also a popular sea angling destination and has no dog restrictions.
