The poster, skillfully designed by Davies, showcases a vibrant scene that perfectly captures the essence of this charming seaside destination. As we gaze upon this vintage artwork, our eyes are immediately drawn to the sandy beaches stretching out before us. The golden shores seem to invite visitors for a leisurely stroll or a refreshing dip in the sparkling sea. Seagulls gracefully glide through the sky above, adding an air of tranquility and freedom. The poster's composition cleverly incorporates elements that evoke a sense of nostalgia and adventure. A couple walks hand-in-hand along the promenade, their smiles reflecting pure joy as they explore all that Whitley Bay has to offer.
