Embleton Bay

[Ceverton]

We have a drive up monthly at least. Park at Newton and head to Craster or opposite towards Beadnell with a beer from the ship. Perfect

Thankyou, will do that today

Loads of stunning beaches and bays up Northumberland. One that rarely gets mentioned in Longhoughton Bay (South of Howick), very very quiet.

Long long time ago before Torness power station was built there was a Greenpeace rally in Dunbar and a festival on the proposed site, we had ride up there and soon got bored with it. We decided to head back down the coast and take our mind altering drugs somewhere more peaceful, we ended up at Embleton Bay and camped for the night, sun came up and we were still sat staring off into the colours when a young dear ran across the beach, beautiful.
Really must go back there some day.

Soz mate, it'll be dead by now.

We often walk from Alnmouth to Craster and back .

Dunstanburgh Golf club to Beadnell is a favourite, did it a couple of years back in Oct, had Sunday lunch in Beadnell when we left it was getting dark , remember walking down the 6th fairway in the pitch black , only our car left in the car park as well.

It's class imo. Absolutely love the place. Usually do the 10 mile walk a few times a year. Nice way to build up a thirst.

Just back from a nice walk around Budle Bay with the mut. A couple of golfers out as I walk along the top first through the dunes before dropping down to beach. Heaven on earth for a week this will be.

Thanks everyone for the info and your experiences on Embleton Bay, went yesterday and it was amazing!

Walked from Embleton Bay to Craster, did not get a pint due to all being reserved and just decided to go the night before. Will be going again for sure.

Try Ross beach if you fancy a secluded beach. It's about half way between Bamburgh and the Lindisfarne causeway.

You park just outside the hamlet of Ross, then have to walk about a mile and a half through farmland then sand dunes. When you get there, you have miles and miles of golden sand and there's hardly anyone there. It's stunning.

Watch out for the nuddies though!

Embleton>Dunstanburgh Castle>Craster>Embleton (via farmer's fields and footpath) is decent 10k walk/run.
The pub at Craster is meant to be canny now but if a pub is your priority, the Ship at Low Newton as mentioned by Harry is cracking.

Aye, it’s an idyllic location for a pint on a summers day. Walked along the beach up to the castle and back with the gf then short drive to the Fishing Boat Inn at Boulmer which does very good bait there - I can recommend their steak.

Stunningly beautiful area.

I went there last September, a very good beach.

Never seen any nuddies mind

there's also the joiners at high newton by the sea, maybe 10 minute walk from the ship( just walk up hill, past car park into high newton )

Owned by the same people who run Newton Hall a bit further up iirc.

I am the same, just 4 years older. Was thinking I would love to live in that area when driving out of the housing areas nearby the beach.

Strange thing happened when leaving Embleton Bay beach in car yesterday, a grouse was in the middle of a country road and I stopped for it. It just stared me out for 20 seconds, would not budge until finally moving to side of the road to let me past in car

The sugar sands area there. Can get some decent cod there in winter, off the rocks.

Anywhere at Cresswell worth fishing from? It’s going to be just down the road for me soon and I might buy mesel some gear.
