Crimdon is situated at the southern end of Durham’s Heritage Coast and is a quiet, undisturbed, sandy stretch of beach where you will find the only true sand dunes in the region. Dogs are permitted all year round.
The Little Tern visits Crimdon to breed each year from West Africa, and as this is an important event there are always wardens around who will be happy to talk to you about these birds.
There is a large car park and good links to The England Coast Path and the Hart to Haswell cycleway.
