St. Mary's is an electoral ward in the borough of North Tyneside, located on the North Sea coast just east of Newcastle and across the mouth of the River Tyne. It encompasses the built-up approaches to Tynemouth, with a mix of seafront and cliff-top geography, Victorian terraces, suburban streets and the prominent headland topped by Tynemouth Priory and castle ruins.
Locally the ward blends a strong seaside and heritage feel - beaches, markets and visitor attractions are important - with a largely service-oriented local economy and a sizeable commuter population travelling into Newcastle. Conservation areas, community events and a mix of long-standing local families and newer arrivals give the area a distinctive social character rooted in maritime history and coastal living.
