Head west from your North Charlton holiday cottage, and you will soon reach the Northumberland Coast of Outstanding Natural Beauty, where rocky coves and vast, sandy beaches can be found. Beadnell Bay is one of the nearest beaches, with a huge sweep of sand backed by grassy dunes, a short walk from the car park north of High Newton-by-the-Sea. Embleton Bay is also nearby, with a sandy shore and dunes covered in bluebells and cowslip in spring. A refreshing swim in the sea is highly recommended. Low tide reveals a maze of rockpools. At the beach’s southern end, Dunstanburgh Castle’s ruins perch on a craggy headland overlooking the waves. Nearby, Dunstanburgh Castle Golf Club has one of the area’s best courses, created by the renowned course architect James Braid.
