About the local area

Beadnell Bay can truly be described as the jewel in Northumberland's seaside crown; perfect for a romantic barefoot stroll in the sand to listen to the waves lap against the shoreline and inhale the invigorating sea air... It's also a popular destination for water sports enthusiasts including sailing, sea kayaking, wind surfing and scuba diving; all a mere 20 metres stroll from Beachcombers!

The village offers local facilities including a shop and post office and family friendly pubs serving good food. A small sandy bay speckled with rocky outcrops is also close by and leads to a long sandy beach that stretches two miles to the traditional fishing port of Seahouses where boat trips to the nearby Farne Islands - famous for its bird sanctuaries and seal colony - depart regularly from its harbour. Seahouses offers several charming tea rooms, amusements and shops with horse riding , fishing and golf on the links close by being only a sample of the many amenities available in this popular location.

A further 3 miles up the coastline is the picturesque village of Bamburgh, which lies snuggled in the shadow of its majestic fortress and commands the power and presence of the seasoned television set it regularly becomes. Holy Island - the birthplace of Christianity and site of Lindisfarne Castle - can be seen from the unspoilt golden, sandy beach. Just a few miles inland is the bustling market town of Alnwick, with its own dramatic castle ( and film location for Harry Potter's Hogwarts Academy!) Visitors will enjoy a trip to Alnwick Garden - a spectacular interpretation of a formal garden including the Grand Cascade waterfall and restaurant within the largest tree house in Europe! Beachcombers is an excellent choice for those seeking a coastal retreat to rest and refresh with easy access to one of the most glorious beaches in Northumberland, designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
