The beach is my favourite part of Sunderland. No matter what the weathers like I enjoy nothing more than a walk along the beach from Roker, calling in for a coffee at the Cat and Dogs Steps and then on to Seaburn. Carla Fisher Roker, Sunderland
I chose to come here to study, and the area appealed to me because Sunderland has a fantastic mix of coast, country and city living, the best of all worlds, right on the doorstep. From my first day here, I was astounded how friendly the people of Sunderland were, and I knew I would stay here after my studies. I have now lived here for over 20 years, and certainly class it as my home.
