My partner and I have strolled along this beach countless times. It's definitely one of our preferred East Coast beaches due to its cleanliness, excellent walking paths, and abundance of bird species. The never-ending sand dunes are also a sight to behold.

The beach offers sandy dunes, a vast expanse of shoreline, and a stunning castle in the backdrop. It's an ideal spot to soak up the sun and spend an entire day, especially when the weather is warm and pleasant. Plus, you won't have to venture overseas! Your furry friend will also have a blast and surely tire out.

The beach is stunning and has a vast expanse of sand. It offers breathtaking views of the castle and the Farne Islands, and is exceptionally well-maintained and tidy. Even in late July, it is peaceful and serene. It's perfect for taking a stroll along the shore, and it's also a dog-friendly beach.
