Holy Island Lindisfarne Beach
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 6 beaches around Berwick-upon-Tweed, 24 beaches in Northumberland, or check our list of Northumberland Dog Friendly Beaches.
