Northumberland Coast, Protected coastal area in Northumberland, United Kingdom
The Northumberland Coast extends for 64 kilometers along England's northeastern shore, featuring sandy beaches, dunes, grasslands, and rocky cliffs.
The area received its official designation as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in 1958, protecting 138 square kilometers of significant coastal landscapes.
Local fishing communities maintain traditional practices along the coast, with towns like Craster continuing their heritage of smoking kippers and catching fresh seafood.
Visitors can access the coastal path throughout the year, with multiple entry points and parking facilities available at major beach locations.
The coast contains numerous tidal islands, including Lindisfarne, which becomes completely separated from the mainland twice each day.
