About this beach

Bamburgh Castle Beach is a long remote, sandy beach situated on the north Northumberland coast. The beach is 2.5 kilometres long and slopes gently, resulting in a long distance to the sea at low tide. The Mill Burn crosses the beach to the north of the Environment Agency's designated sampling point.
