Alnmouth Beach

Nestled where the River Aln meets the North Sea, Alnmouth Beach offers a picturesque slice of coastal Northumberland. The sweeping golden arc is framed by vibrant village cottages on one side and the vast horizon on the other, creating a stunning panorama that shifts dramatically with the tides. When the water recedes, it reveals a vast expanse perfect for contemplative walks and beachcombing, while the estuary attracts diverse birdlife that adds flashes of movement to the serene landscape. Despite its accessibility from the charming village with its colorful Georgian houses, the beach rarely feels crowded, providing a peaceful retreat where the river's gentle meeting with the sea creates an atmosphere of timeless tranquility.
