Amble Links Beach in Northumberland is the perfect place to see stunning views and have a memorable family day out. The finest sands are toward Hauzley to the south of the harbour, which offers a great view of Coquet Island and its working lighthouse!
Coquet is managed by the RSPB and is home to over 18,000 puffins, the UKs largest colony. Although you can't land on the island there are regular bird watching cruises from Amble regardless of the weather.
Less than a mile from the coast the island holds the ruins of a medieval monastery. It's owned by the Duke of Northumberland who lives in Alnwick Castle, otherwise known these days as Hogwarts from the earlier Harry Potter films! This is a few miles north and inland and well worth a visit, so why not make a day of it?
A variety of watersports can be arranged through the Coquet Shorebase Trust and enjoy a swim in the summer (but note that there's no lifeguard cover).
At the roundabout, take the 2nd exit onto Percy Dr and you're one mile away.

From the clifftop parking, Amble Links Beach is accessed down a gentle, though somewhat narrow, path. This journey down is appropriate for people with mobility issues. However, the sand on the beach is not hard packed nor even. Therefore, it is unfortunately not accessible for wheelchair or pushchair users.
