Alnmouth Beach — Attraction in Alnmouth

Beautiful and very quiet part of Northumberland.

However, if you do navigate your way through this minefield of a road, you will be welcomed to the best beach in the North East by a long shot. Alnmouth village its self is a spectacular little village with some awesome pubs for real ale, and awesome cafes for good tea and coffee and of course good scones and cakes.

Alnmouth has long been popular with both local people and those from Northumberland, Yorkshire and Southern Scotland. It is easily located off the Alnwick turnoff on the A1. The village is located on a land spit above the River Aln estuary and it has has a small and scenic natural harbour. Most day trippers park at the inexpensive beach car park across the small links golf course, and make their way to the main street which includes four pubs, a couple of cafes, a couple of other shops and a small village convenience shop which is open 'till late, plus a couple of gift shops. There are many small hotels and a few bed and breakfast establishments and self catering properties. The village has its own thriving community. Bird spotters may linger near the bridge at the entrance to the village which is on a short circular walk. Catch a good weather day and...
