Tynemouth named number one Christmas proposal spot in the UK by website
An online study looking at coastal areas in the UK has ranked a location in North Tyneside as the number one spot for a Christmas proposal.
A team of boating experts from the BoatBooker website analysed 100 coastal locations to identify the spots that have captured the public’s imagination the most.
The research analysed Instagram engagement, TikTok views and Google ratings to identify popular coastal destinations with high visitor satisfaction and strong social media engagement.
Tynemouth claimed the top spot with an overall popularity score of 99.19 out of 100, combining 437,000 Instagram posts (the highest in the entire study), more than 40 million TikTok views and a 4.9 Google rating.
Vukan Simic, boating expert and founder at BoatBooker, said: “Everyone expects Cornwall to sweep these rankings, but Tynemouth proves the north can beat the south at romance.
“Yes, Tynemouth is Instagram-worthy enough to make your engagement photos stand out, but the 4.9 rating tells you that real visitors consistently have amazing experiences there.”
