Druridge Bay South Beach

Druridge Bay South Beach, located in Northumberland, is a long, wide sandy bay that stretches from Amble in the north to Cresswell in the south, offering a diverse range of coastal experiences.

Druridge Bay South Beach is a privately owned, long, wide sandy bay that stretches from Amble in the north to Cresswell in the south. The beach is noted for its unofficial nudist section, situated between the Northumberland Coast Country Park and the National Trust property. The bay is characterised by its shallow waters and extensive dunes, surrounded by meadows, woodland, and lakes.

The southern edge of Druridge Bay is home to Cresswell beach, which boasts one of the best sandy beaches on the Northumberland coast. The gently sloping sand is backed by extensive sand dunes and offers a seemingly endless stretch at low tide. At low tide, a few rocky patches are exposed, providing excellent rockpooling opportunities. Cresswell beach is generally unspoilt and quiet, except during the peak summer months.

Walking south along the beach from Druridge Bay, you arrive at Cresswell beach, which marks the beginning of the Northumbrian Coastal Route, a 62-mile path that stretches to Berwick on Tweed. The surrounding area is rural and unspoilt, with a cafe providing refreshments and a car park on the beach front. Further south along the coast lies Broad Sands Rocks, a smaller, partially rocky beach backed by a holiday park.

The beaches in the Druridge Bay South area are dog-friendly all year round, making them ideal for long walks with your pet. The headland in front of Cresswell features some rocks, particularly at low tide. While the beaches are generally quiet, they offer a range of activities, including rockpooling and walking.

Druridge Bay South Beach is on the North Northumberland Heritage Coast, and adjacent to the Northumberland Coast Path.
