A man who has dedicated the past six years exploring the planet creating tourism content for social media maintains the finest location he has discovered is a « cold little beach town ».
Nate McFall, whose page is devoted to highlighting unique stays and travel experiences, posted on Instagram where he admitted there’s no place like home.
« I spent six years travelling the world, and yet somehow this is still one of my favourite places I have ever been, » he began in footage recorded on the sand. « I didn’t realise when I left, but this place shaped me in more ways than I can explain. »
While Nate may have visited Australia, New Zealand and South East Asia in recent times, he says this chilly North East coastal town still « hits different » when he is there.
« It was actually here about eight years ago that I tried surfing for the first time, » he continued, displaying a photograph of the moment in 2018. « It was cold – like properly cold – but something shifted in me that day because if I could surf in the freezing cold North Sea, what else is possible? »
Nate proceeded to acknowledge that throughout his journeys he had been « chasing something » that he had already discovered.
« This is Tynemouth, » he announced. « A small coastal town, but it’s full of life. Wherever you look, people are enjoying this place running along the seafront, swimming in the sea and surfing. »
Nate also emphasised the abundance of coffee shops in the town, also noting that Tynemouth’s Victorian railway station « turns into a bustling market » at weekends, « selling delicious food, crafts and handmade trinkets. »
The traveller further asserted that Tynemouth houses the « best chip shop in England » as he made his way towards the beach once again.
« It’s served out of what is essentially a shipping container [called The View], » he stated. « There’s a fresh sea breeze and with fishcake in hand, I top it off by looking at 1,000 year old ruins [Tynemouth Priory and Castle] right next to me. »
Nate concluded by expressing his belief that the UK possesses beauty that many individuals overlook.
As he enjoyed a chilli fish empanada from Riley’s Fish Shack, he summarised: « It’s proof that you don’t always need palm trees or plane tickets. Some of the most unreal places are right here on our doorstep. »

Writing in response, one Instagram user enthused: « I love this – I’m from Whitley Bay and am a wild swimmer so am always at the beach when I visit home. It’s such a special place. »
A second individual exclaimed: « Love Tynemouth and Riley’s fish shack, on a summers night as it gets a little chillier, sitting around one of the fire pits with friends is such a good way to finish a weekend. »
A third commended: « Love this. I am in New Zealand. So many beautiful places in the world. No country has the title of best place. Tynemouth looks cool. I will visit it now when I next visit UK. »
And a fourth person said: « Thanks Nate. Spent many lovely days at Tynemouth as a child. Haven’t been back in 50 years since my family moved to Florida, USA. But still have fabulous memories. Thanks so much for reminding me. » »
