Our Time at Beadnell Bay
The northern end can get busy on warm summer days, with easy access from the car park, public toilets nearby and watersports available on the bay. But walk another hundred metres or so and things quickly quieten down, leaving miles of open beach popular with walkers, dogs and shorebirds.
At the mid point, Long Nanny winds its way across the sand. Depending on rainfall and the tide it can be anything from an easy step across to something requiring the nearby footbridge. During nesting season, parts of this area are protected for terns and other shorebirds, so follow any temporary signs and diversions.
Our usual walk from the harbour to Link House Farm and back is around four miles. For a change of scenery, return behind the dunes on the coastal path, or continue south towards Football Hole, Low Newton and Embleton Bay for a longer walk.
And when you get back? The Landing opposite the car park is perfectly positioned for coffee, lunch or a well-earned pint.
