Holy Island Beach, also known as Lindisfarne, is a tidal island located off the coast of Northumberland, accessible by a paved causeway that is covered at high tide.
Lindisfarne is a tidal island famous for its medieval religious heritage and picturesque 16th-century castle. The island has a rich history, with the Lindisfarne Priory, a medieval monastery, being a notable landmark. The island's castle, built in the 16th century, is another popular attraction.
The Harbour beach on Holy Island is one of the easiest to access, located on the shoreward side of the island. Although the beach itself may not be as visually stunning as other expansive, sandy beaches in the area, it offers great views of Lindisfarne Castle and the medieval Priory. Visitors can enjoy a range of facilities close to the beach.
As a tidal island, access to Lindisfarne is via a paved causeway that is covered at high tide. Visitors planning to walk to and from the island need to be mindful of the tides to ensure safe passage.
