Our drawing of the route — the shape of the walk, not a navigation aid. Carry OS Explorer on the hill. Off-lead information here is what walkers reported or what signage allows — never our advice. Whether and when a dog is off the lead is the owner’s decision and legal responsibility; keep dogs under control near livestock and follow signs on the day.

Beadnell harbour car park, beside the limekilns
Parking
Pay-and-display at the harbour, about 50 spaces; overflow is roadside on Harbour Road only
Directions to the start →

A short two and a half mile hour on the flat, out along the whinstone spur of Ebb’s Nook past the ruined chapel and back through the village and dunes. Park at the harbour car park by the eighteenth-century limekilns, which is pay-and-display and small; the walk can also be started from the roadside at the south end of the village. Sand and rock with no seasonal dog restriction anywhere on this beach, so leads can come off, but the Nook is a narrow grassy promontory with abrupt low cliffs on both sides and the tide covers the causeway of rock at its base.

Beadnell Bay
Beach DOGS WELCOME Dogs all year

Beadnell Bay

NE67 5BZ
Dogs allowed all year

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.

Off-lead allowed

Five miles there and back along the great arc of Beadnell Bay to the footbridge over the Long Nanny burn, two hours on level sand and dune path. Start from the harbour car park at the north end of Beadnell, a small pay-and-display that fills by mid-morning; the National Trust car park at Low Newton makes a better base if you would rather walk it from the south. The beach itself has no seasonal dog ban, but the National Trust ropes off the Arctic and little tern colony at the Long Nanny and wardens it round the clock from May to August, and dogs must be on a short lead through that stretch.

Beadnell Kitchen is a place to eat on The Wynding, Beadnell. It is listed here so you know it is there, but we have not yet established whether dogs are welcome — so there is no verdict on this page and no stamp. If it is your business, claim the page and tell us, and we will stamp it.
