Boulmer Beach

About Boulmer Beach

Boulmer Beach is a charming and tranquil location, ideal for those seeking peace away from busier tourist spots. The beach has a rich fishing heritage, with a small, active fishing community still present today. It offers a serene environment, perfect for leisurely walks, bird watching, and soaking in the natural beauty. Not a typical sandy beach; it has a mixture of pebbles and rocks, with fascinating rock pools at low tide.

Visiting Boulmer Beach

Getting there

From Newcastle upon Tyne, take the A1 north towards Alnwick. Continue past Alnwick, then take the B1340 exit toward Denwick/Seahouses. Follow the B1340, and then turn onto the B1339, following signs for Boulmer. As you enter Boulmer, the beach will be signposted and accessible from the local roads.

Parking

Limited parking is available near the beachfront, with additional spaces in the village itself. It's advisable to arrive early during peak times to secure a spot.

Toilets

Public toilets are available in the village of Boulmer, a short walk from the 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.
