Beautiful clean sands with no toe breaking pebbles. Really flat walking out into the very clean sea. Looks more like a tropical sea stretches on for miles.
Nice beach, very clean. Able to walk to Dunstanburgh castle from the beach was nice and could even walk to a raster along a public footpath.
What a beautiful place! We walked along from the golf course, be careful, there were quite a few golfers yelling 'Fore' at us! ... the view of Dunstanburgh Castle is awesome and so is the ancient volcanic rock formation on the beach ...well worth a visit...
One of the most lovely beaches in the UK. Golden sandy beach, beautiful Crystal clear waters, fascinating rock pools, panoramic views of Dunstenburgh Castle. A hidden gem xx
We accessed Embleton Bay via Dunstan Steads which is basically a road available to park on for free, there’s also an ice-cream van that is usually parked at the bottom of the road. From there it’s a short walk to Embleton Bay & a lovely sandy beach, access is via a short path but it is through soft sand so it’s something to bear in mind. The beach affords sweeping views of the glorious Northumberland coast & Dunstanburgh Castle, also the beach is unspoiled & like all the other local beaches is spotless. Dog-friendly and not too many people about makes for a pleasurable walk at any time of year.
