Embleton Bay

Embleton Bay is a stunning beach located off the beaten track, offering amazing views towards Dunstanburgh Castle. The beach is known for its beautiful sandy bay and good surf. It is also noted for its tranquility, often being described as nice and quiet, and not crowded. The beach is easily accessible from the Dunstan Hill campsite, with a pleasant 20-minute walk leading to the beach. Another route to the beach involves a walk through a golf course, which takes approximately 30 minutes to reach the castle gatehouse. However, visitors are advised to be careful after going through the gate of the golf course. Parking at Embleton Bay can be a bit tricky due to limited spaces and very narrow access. There is a turning point at the bottom, but it is recommended to use the gate halfway down to turn around. Despite the parking challenges, there is free parking available in the vicinity. In terms of amenities, there is an ice cream van nearby for visitors to enjoy. While the beach offers a view of Dunstanburgh Castle, visitors are advised that there may be a fee to look inside the castle.
