Here in Northumberland, we know that our beaches are the best in the UK.
From the horseshoe shaped bay at Beadnell, to the white sugary sands at relatively 'hidden gem' Warkworth, the county's beaches are a wonderful place for a day trip, whether you want to have a go at water sports, tackle a bracing walk in the North Sea air, or just chill out with a picnic. And for the very bravest, perhaps a swim!
As the area's popularity increases, so does that of its beaches, with two named among the best in the UK by New York based magazine Travel + Leisure. One is extremely well known, while the other is more of a secret, especially to those who live outside of the region.
