The Sporty One

The sheltered horseshoe of Beadnell Bay cradles a sweeping crescent of beach making it a hit with families.

Set up your deck chairs in a sheltered spot backed by impressive dunes on the fine, golden sand here - perfect for sand castle building or a spot of beach cricket. The protected waters of Beadnell Bay make it a favourite with water sports fans of all ages. Try your hand at kite surfing, kayaking or even wake boarding here.

Explore around Beadnell’s tiny quay – it’s the only west facing harbour on the east coast. Traditional Northumberland cobles still fish out of here for wild salmon and sea trout.
