Embleton Bay
Explore Embleton’s Beaches and Walking Trails
Embleton’s main attraction is the stunning Embleton Bay, known for its pristine sandy beach nestled in a sheltered bay with rock pools and rocky outcrops. Popular for water sports and bird watching, the bay boasts the highest UK standard of bathing water quality. Accessible via a short walk from the village, Embleton Bay is one of the UK’s cleanest, most unpopulated, and safest beaches, perfect for exploring rock pools at low tide.
Behind the beach, the sand dunes host quaint wooden bungalows built in the 1930s by golfers, now owned by the National Trust. Embleton Bay is ideal for families and nature enthusiasts, with sandy beaches for playing and dunes blooming with wildflowers in summer. In autumn and winter, the empty beaches and big skies offer a serene escape with fresh air and space to breathe, accompanied by winter wildlife and historical landmarks like the ruins of Dunstanburgh Castle and the ‘Vanishing Rock’ with its pirate lore.
