Site of Tynemouth Lighthouse. A lighthouse was built here in 1664 using stone from the Priory. It is likely that this tower replaced a medieval light in the Priory buildings. Demolished in 1898 and replaced by St. Mary's Lighthouse.
The coastguard station is now closed and is only accessible through Tynemouth Priory, for which there is an admission fee
