Two miles of dune-backed sand between the Coquet estuary and Birling Carrs, with a car park at the north end of the village and almost nothing else. Dogs are welcome in every month; no seasonal restriction applies. The dunes are fragile and grazed in places, so stick to the marked paths on the way through.

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.
