Ross Back Sands is 3 miles of sandy quiet beach backed by sand dunes. The beach protrudesย out between Holy Island and Budle Bay which means it can be very windy due to this exposed position although careful positioning within the sand dunes can provide a good windbreak.
Some good walks around Ross beach including a nature reserve which is a popular spot for bird watching and you get some great views of Lindisfarne Castle to the north onย Holy Island and Bamburgh Castle to the south.
The beach has noย facilities and there is a 1ยฝ mile walk from the nearest parking point at Ross and this is probably why the beach is never busy.
Note that due to the remoteness and sand dunes parts of the beach are used by naturists.
