A mile and a half of firm sand curving south from Beadnell harbour to the Long Nanny burn, with dunes behind and the Cheviots on the skyline inland. Dogs are welcome all year: no seasonal ban applies anywhere on this stretch. The tern colony at the Long Nanny end is fenced and wardened in summer, so keep to the water's edge as you get near it.
THE SMALL PRINTNo seasonal restriction under the Northumberland County Council (Dog Control) Public Spaces Protection Order in force from 31 January 2026. The county's only restricted beach stretches are at Newbiggin by the Sea, from the breakwater at Church Point to the beach access from the promenade at Sidney Crescent, and at Blyth, from the beach access at Beachway to the beach access at the southern end of the Links Road car park, both 1 May to 30 September. Fixed penalty £100.
Nobody has written one for Beadnell Bay. If you have been with the dog, you would be the first — and the first review is the one everybody reads.
