Cheswick Sands Cocklawburn Beach (Northumberland)

Information
Cheswick Sands is one of the biggest beaches in Northumberland, a large area of flat sand with black rocks and dunes.
This is a vast beach that stretches as far as the eye can see and merges in with Cocklawburn beach in the north.
Excellent beach for walking. On a clear day to the north end of the beach you can see past Berwick to the Border, while to the south Holy Island with it’s castle is in full view.
Few beaches offer such excellent unspoilt views as this.
Parking available.
Responsible dog owners are welcome on the reserve - this includes keeping dogs on a lead or at heel at all times (even on the beaches) to avoid disturbance to our birds and grazing livestock.
