Absolutely beautiful unspoiled stretch of coastline, I regularly walk the dogs here for a stretch, and they love it! You'd be hard pressed to see more than 5 people on the dunes. Secluded beauty at its best. Recommend

Tiny little village on the Northumberland coast, with free car parks, a couple of shops , a village hall, toilets and a beach to die for. Miles of golden sands, the sort that is lovely to walk on, lie in and gets everywhere!!!! Bring your bucket and spade, your own food and drink, and lose yourselves in a little gem.

Lovely wide expanse of sandy beach, generally not busy. Unfortunately some thoughtless dog walkers with uncontrolled groups of dogs off the leads can make dog walking stressful.
