Beadnell Bay

Curved in a perfect horseshoe and backed by protective dunes, Beadnell Bay presents Northumberland's most sheltered beach environment, making it a haven for watersports enthusiasts and families alike. Its broad sweep of pale sand faces southeast, capturing precious sunlight and offering protection from prevailing winds while small limestone harbors at either end add historical interest to the natural beauty. The bay's calm waters attract windsurfers, paddleboarders, and sailors during summer months, while the expansive beach never feels crowded, even at peak season. Behind the dunes, the quaint village of Beadnell offers refreshment, while the offshore waters form part of a marine conservation zone, occasionally rewarding vigilant visitors with glimpses of seals and diving seabirds pursuing their prey in the clear waters.
