The remains of what was a pier.
I believe currently under restoration but in some serious need of assistance.
This is barely a shell of an existence.

Free parking nearby.
Good views over the water.
Toilets nearby too.

Shotley Pier: Under restoration by a volunteer group hoping to raise money for its total restoration. Would like to build a small information museum of its fascinating history during the war and of local knowledge not recorded as yet. [Unfortunately this small building was objected to by developers who said it would spoil property views. These developers have not fulfilled their obligation to build a road for local residents. Makes me wonder whose interest are being served in this fascinating area. Especially as more planning has been submitted where this road should be!!!]

Very disappointed. Went following a recommendation, but found it difficult to see what the appeal was. Dead birds on the beach and a dead deer by the toilets, that had obviously been there a long time.
Parking was good and there's a lovely picnic area. The coastal walk appeared to be interesting, but we only followed it a short distance.

The whole pier is rotting away and the part you can go on is not very long. Something has to be done with this pier.
