Roker (/ˈroʊkər/ROH-kər) is a seaside resort of Sunderland, city of Sunderland district, Tyne and Wear. England. It is north of the River Wear's mouth and Monkwearmouth, west of the North Sea, east of Fulwell and Seaburn is south. It lies within historic County Durham.
The majority of the houses in Roker are terraced or semi-detached. Further west, to the part bordering Fulwell, are cul-de-sacs with semi-detached bungalows, these being owned mainly by members of Roker's sizeable elderly population. On Roker Terrace (Roker's main street) are exclusive apartments and hotels which overlook the seafront.
In addition to Seaburn seafront, the coast at Roker seafront played host to Sunderland International Air show, the biggest free air show in Europe, which took place each year, usually over the last weekend in July. However the Sunderland Air show has been cancelled indefinitely as Sunderland City Council says it wants to make the city carbon neutral. The popular event, which attracted hundreds of thousands of spectators to Roker, was last held in 2019, just before the pandemic.
