An “absolutely perfect” beach found along the Northumberland coast has been described as a “hidden gem”.
Millets has released a top 10 list of the best hidden gem beaches in the UK to visit this summer.
Beadnell Bay beach made it onto the list thanks to its excellent water quality and high rating on Tripadvisor.
Described as “an ideal spot”, the beach could be a great option for those looking for a quieter seaside retreat compared to a busy coastal resort.
What is Beadnell Bay beach like?
Beadnell Bay beach is a large sandy beach in a horseshoe-shaped bay with grassy sand dunes and fields at the rear of it.
The beach is a popular spot for swimming as well as different water sports such as surfing, sailing, and windsurfing.
The nearby village of Beadnell has plenty of shops where you can rent or buy any equipment you might need to get involved in some water sports.
You can also go snorkelling and scuba diving in the area if you want to get closer to the sea life.
Close to the beach, you can find The Landing, a restaurant that offers a range of breakfast dishes and pastries in the morning, as well as larger plates for lunch and dinner, including traditional fish and chips.
There is also a fish and chip van that parks up close to the coastline for those wanting to grab something to enjoy on the beach.
Calum Jones, Author & outdoor enthusiast at Millets, comments on how to enjoy your summer beach visit: “Summer is the perfect time to explore the stunning coastlines across the UK, from Achmelvich Beach in the Scottish Highlands to Broadstairs in Kent. There are breathtaking beaches to be found across the UK."
