Sandy Bay, Northumberland.
This beach on the north side of the mouth of the River Wansbeck is very quiet. It is used mainly by visitors to the large caravan park that carries the same name.
The beach is difficult to reach as you need to walk quite a distance to it, either along the cliffs from Newbiggin or along the River Wansbeck from North Seaton or from the road to the caravan park. There used to be a car park and approach track from the main road but this was blocked off.
The mouth of the River Wansbeck can be dangerous as there are very strong tidal currents, especially at "the chain" the site of the old ferry to Cambois.
