Cheswick Sands

Wild and wonderfully undeveloped, Cheswick Beach epitomizes Northumberland's rugged coastal character with its dramatic rock formations, hidden caves, and sense of complete isolation from the modern world. Accessible only via a scenic coastal walk, this remote stretch rewards the effort with pristine sands, excellent rock pooling opportunities, and the kind of untouched natural beauty that feels increasingly rare. The beach's exposed position creates powerful waves that attract experienced surfers, while its dramatic geology provides endless fascination for those content to explore on foot.
