Amble Links Beach
Amble Links Beach
Explore a sandy beach with rockpools, stunning views of Coquet Island, and opportunities for water sports including surfing and kayaking.
Amble Links Beach is a scenic sandy and shingle beach backed by cliffs, located south of Amble Marina in Northumberland. The beach is popular with families, walkers, and water sports enthusiasts, offering excellent conditions for surfing, kayaking, sailing, and windsurfing. At low tide, visitors can discover fascinating rockpools teeming with shore-life and even evidence of petrified wood and fossil coral from a prehistoric forest that once existed here thousands of years ago. The beach provides stunning panoramic views across to Coquet Island, which is home to a large puffin colony and the ruins of an ancient monastery. While visitors cannot land on the island itself, organized boat trips are available for those interested in birdwatching and exploring this historic site with its working lighthouse. Nearby at Low Hauxley, tree stumps preserved in peat from approximately 7000 years ago are occasionally exposed by the tides, offering a unique window into Doggerland and ancient human habitation. Amble Links is well-suited for families seeking both adventure and relaxation. The beach features free parking on the cliffs above, toilet facilities, and easy access via a gentle path. Dogs are welcome year-round, and the adjacent village of Amble provides shops, pubs, and restaurants. The site has received Marine Conservation Society recognition for its excellent water quality and environmental standards.
