A picturesque beach with golden sand and clear blue waters, surrounded by limestone cliffs and scenic coastal paths, perfect for walking and hiking. The beach is dotted with rock pools and interesting geological formations, and at low tide, a large expanse of sand is revealed, ideal for sunbathing and swimming.
Seaton Sluice is a fascinating village with a rich industrial heritage. It was great to see the old coal and glass trading sites and learn about the salt pans and Sir Ralph Delaval's ingenious pier and sluice gates. The natural harbor and the history of Hartley Pans really transported me back in time. I thoroughly enjoyed my visit and highly recommend it to anyone interested in Northumbrian history.
free car park and dog friendly all year round!
Lovely wild and unspoiled beach, just north of Whitley Bay, but seems so far removed and is much nicer if you want peace and quiet. Free car parking and toilets available. Also there was an ice cream van there when we visited. Lovely place for a walk or to sit and watch the sea
Absolutely adore this beach, it's my go-to every time. There is a gorgeous drive here past the Beehive pub, which is a beautiful country road. We either park in the main carpark, or the free on-street parking outside the pub by the harbour. We love to sit in the sand dunes and have a BBQ, or just takes some chairs and a blanket and sit and read while the sunsets. It's always quiet and spacious. Plenty of space to get a cosy corner to yourself. I love the harbour at the end, and regularly walk around it. The sea is VERY cold, so I don't recommend a dip, however I see plenty of people who do go for a swim! Even without wetsuits! The dogs also love it and I enjoy walking them running up and down in the surf.
Lovely beach, clean and good access. My only concern was the amount of dogs running whilst small children were paddling, playing and eating. Many of them didn't seem to be with their owners. The child we were with is scared of dogs and even if friendly they dogs shouldnt run up without owner. Happened more than once with differet dogs. We couldn't relax on an otherwise perfect day. Owners at fault I know but some beaches don't allow dogs during peak times (2pm on a weekend afternoon) or have a part of the beach just for dogs.
A beautiful dog friendly beach. Lovely clean sands with amazing views of our stunning Northumberland coast.
