View of Roker Pier and Lighthouse

Highlight • Monument

Roker Pier (also known as the New North Pier) marks the end of the C2C. The striking pier was opened in 1903 and has become a defining feature on the seafront here. There's also a good little cyclist cafe and plenty of places for coffee and a bacon sarnie – no doubt a much welcome sight after a long adventure on your bike.
