As the sun shines down on Tyne and Wear people flock to the seaside to make the most of what’s left of the summer.
Sandhaven Beach in South Shields was certainly busier than usual, after floods caused misery throughout July and August.
Pauline Wells, from Consett, who came to the beach with her grandson, said: "The weather has been awful, but I'm hoping it's going to stay fine now that the sun has finally come out.
"I'm babysitting my grandson for the next three weeks, so it would be lovely if we could get out and about everyday."
