Cumbria - all beaches

Fantastic beach. Parking is very convenient, and the surrounding area is nice too.

We drove here to check out the scenery. The last couple of miles consist of a very tight single-track road with only a few passing places, and vegetation scraping the sides of the car, so it's best to avoid it with a big vehicle. Once on foot, it was a decent walk for us as the weather was very dry. The tide was miles out, so we couldn't see the water as it was so far away. It could be a bit risky with the tide coming in and bad weather, so plan ahead for a nice day. My springer spaniel loved it too; he was swimming in all the little pools of water left behind. There are lots of birds in the cliffs, including some Peregrines, making it a great spot for a little adventure.

This beach is lovely and welcomes dogs.

We visited at sunset and it was breathtaking! The dunes were incredible, and the tide was so far out that the beach seemed enormous. Numerous rock pools had formed, which our dog absolutely loved! There’s a small parking area on the way in, and Google Maps guided us perfectly.
