The Little Coasters brand sits within the blue North Tyneside family of brands - Coaster and Cobalt & Coast. The Little Coaster buses provide connections and links to the "big" coastal buses.

I wouldn't say it was. Or ever was.
The fact it's town centre overlooks the river (or is actually further inland if you take in to account the outlying suburbs) tells me it's not.
Are Tynemouth, Cullercoats, Whitley Bay on the coast and therefore coastal towns or villages - yes.
North Shields - no.
