The bay is situated between Amble in the north and Creswell in the south, forming a seven-mile long stretch of coastline backed by an extensive dune system. The southern end of the bay, closest to Creswell, features a beach that has been recovering from its former use as a tipping site for mining waste. The beach is now becoming sandy, although evidence of its industrial past still remains.
The beach has several notable features, including the Alcan power plant to the south and Bog Hall point to the north. Access to the beach is available on foot from the main road via steep paths and from the car park at Bog Hall. The Blackemoor Burn runs into the sea at this point, attracting interesting bird life. A section of flat rocks, known as The Scars, lies just off the beach.
The beach is popular with walkers, watersport enthusiasts, and families who come to enjoy playing on the wide expanse of golden sand exposed at low tide. Parking is available on the coast road heading north out of Creswell, and there are nearby amenities, including an ice-cream shop and a café.
The bay is privately owned and includes a noted, though unofficial, nudist beach. A section of the bay is situated between the Northumberland Coast Country Park and the National Trust property.
