Seahouses & The Farne Islands Northumberland Northumbria England UK GB (page 51): "Northumberland has some of the cleanest beaches in England and every major beach has been passed by the Environment Agency for the cleanliness of its water. From north to south, Northumberland's best beaches are:
SPITTAL BEACH: Soft golden sands on the south side of the Tweed estuary at Berwick. Graded 'B' or good for its absence of litter.
BAMBURGH BEACH: Mile upon mile of long, golden sands overlooked by the magnificent Bamburgh Castle. A Rural Seaside Award winner, graded 'B' or good for its absence of litter.
St AIDAN'S BEACH, SEAHOUSES : An arc shaped sandy beach with rocky outcrops and rock pools offering good views of the Farne Islands. A Rural Seaside Award winner.
BEADNELL BAY: A golden, sandy horse-shoe-shaped beach overlooked by sand dunes and a small harbour. This is the only west facing harbour along the length of England's east coast. A Rural Seaside Award winner, graded 'B' or good for its absence of litter.
EMBLETON BAY: Reached from the villages of Low Newton and Embleton, this quiet, sandy bay is overlooked by the dramatic ruins of Dunstanburgh Castle. A Rural Seaside Award winner, graded 'B' or good for its absence of litter.
ALNMOUTH: Soft, golden sands on the north side of the pretty, red-roofed holiday resort of Alnmouth.
