This stunning seven mile stretch of beach runs from bustling Amble to peaceful
Cresswell, where the
Northumberland Coast Path begins. As well as a pristine sandy beach, there are sand dunes and pools to explore and the 100-acre Ladyburn Lake fringed by picturesque woodland and tranquil meadows.
Druridge Bay has several nature reserves tucked away behind its wild dunes that are teeming with wildlife. Birdwatchers - grab your binoculars and look out for wintering wildfowl, teal and goldeneye. Other wildlife can be glimpsed here, and you can do some otter spotting as they can often be spied skimming the surface of the large lake.
As well as the Northumberland Coast Country Park, most commonly known as Druridge Bay Country Park, you can head to East Chevington and
Cresswell to spot resident and migrating birds including graylag, pink-footed geese, and grasshopper warbler.
Gallop, wheel and surf your way through Druridge Bay, as horse riding, cycling and even watersports can all be enjoyed here. Test yourself and try windsurfing, canoeing or sailing courses on Ladyburn Lake. Let the kids have fun at the children's play area next to the Visitor Centre at Druridge Bay Country Park whilst you relax on the nearby picnic benches.
