Alnmouth Beach
A wide estuary beach on the Northumberland coast giving steady if modest finds of mostly white and green sea glass.
About Amble Beach
Amble is a working harbour town where the River Coquet meets the sea, with sandy beaches either side of the harbour looking out to Coquet Island. It is not as rich as Boulmer or Newbiggin further along the coast, but several collectors report finding glass here.
Sea glass at Amble Beach
Mostly green and other common colours in smallish pieces, some of it not fully frosted. Expect a few pieces rather than a haul.
Visiting Amble Beach
- Safety
- Check the tide times before you go and head out on a falling tide, so you're never cut off. Keep away from the bottom of cliffs, wear sturdy shoes on rocks, and only take sea glass and other man-made rubbish: pebbles, sand and shells should stay on the beach.
