I love Roker beach. There is no better sandy beach when the weather is good. Just looking out at the sea and the waves are so peaceful. You have many amenities (but I don't think they're as good as South Shields). You can watch the boats come out of the marina and if you walk down the path toward the beach there are a few restaurants and bars right on the beach. Then you have Roker Park which is a little beautiful park with lakes and it is well kept by the local council I believe. It is worth a visit to take pictures of the sunrise over Roker Pier which you can walk along ( I wouldn't recommend it during a storm as the waves sweep up really high on that pier. Folk do fish on there. Good luck if you go to fish. Another great place to visit while in Sunderland.. don't forget a visit to St Peter's church.. oldest church in England! Check It out as it has a connection with Lindesfarne gospels...

Roker beach in the last couple of years has went from strength to strength in regards to its appearance and cleanliness, the local council have done a fantastic job in modernising this area and it shows. There is fantastic amenities surrounding the beach, the area is clean tidy and shows Sunderland in a good light, the night lights which have been installed also give a breathtakingly beautiful look to the area during the night time. There is a children play ground next to the beach as well as roker lighthouse which can be accessed from the pier nearby, there is also a yachting club nearby also. There is parking at roker beach however it is paid parking and during busy or peak times parking spaces are limited. Highly reccomend...
