Two small bays north of Low Newton, reached only by the coast path, which keeps them empty when Bamburgh is filling up. Sand, rock pools and low whinstone reefs, and no seasonal dog restriction at any point in the year. Park at Low Newton's top car park and walk in; there is no vehicle access to the sand.
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 and Blyth, 1 May to 30 September, fixed penalty £100.
Nobody has written one for Football Hole and Newton Haven. If you have been with the dog, you would be the first — and the first review is the one everybody reads.
