Druridge Bay North Beach, located on the north east coast of Northumberland, is a long, wide sandy bay that stretches from Amble in the north to Cresswell in the south.

Druridge Bay North Beach is a remote bathing water situated in the northern half of the nine-kilometre-long bay. The beach is dune-backed and gently sloping, resulting in a long distance to the sea at low tide. The bay is part of a 7-mile stretch of sandy coastline that curves gently round Druridge Bay. The beach is closest to the seaside village of Amble, which features a harbour, restaurants, and shopping pods.

The dunes backing the beach provide ideal conditions for wild flowers to grow in the spring and summer. The area also provides a good habitat for rare bird species. The water quality at Druridge Bay North Beach is good, making it suitable for bathers and watersport enthusiasts during the summer months.

Druridge Bay Country Park lies behind the north part of the beach and features a car park, visitor centre, Ladyburn Lake, toilets, a play area, and a café. Ladyburn Lake is used for sailing, canoeing, and windsurfing. Although there is no lifeguard cover, the beach is used by bathers and watersport enthusiasts during the summer.

The southern section of the beach, immediately south of Chevington Burn, has been unofficially used by naturists for around 50 years.

Togston Beach, also known as Druridge Bay North Beach, shares the same characteristics as the main beach, being a long, wide sandy bay stretching from Amble in the north to Cresswell in the south. This section of beach is privately owned and includes a noted, though unofficial, nudist beach, situated between the Northumberland Coast Country Park and the National Trust property.

Druridge Bay North Beach is on the North Northumberland Heritage Coast.
