Two fires in one day have caused destruction and put wildlife at risk at two of Northumberland's most popular beaches.
In the early hours of Tuesday morning the bin storage area at the car park by Beadnell Bay was destroyed by flames. Local firefighters were called out to battle the blaze just before 2am, working quickly to prevent the flames from spreading.
And later that same day emergency services workers spotted fire spreading through the dunes by North Sunderland beach, Seahouses.
