Holy Island has a selection of sand beaches and dunes. Also known by its Celtic name as Lindisfarne, Holy Island is accessible only at low tide, twice daily, by a three mile long causeway.
The island is one of the top locations for bird watching in North East England. The sand dunes and saltmarsh are a National Nature Reserve, and an important winter home to thousands of seabirds, particularly waders.
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.
Why not check other beaches nearby as we have no beaches around Berwick-upon-Tweed, 24 beaches in Northumberland, or check our list of Northumberland Dog Friendly Beaches.
