Located on the Northumberland Coast, Druridge Bay is a 7-mile beach which sits between the coastal towns of Amble to Cresswell.
During the Second World War, soldiers fortified the Druridge Bay as part of anti-invasion preparations. And you can still see the anti-tank concrete blocks that were placed along the shoreline.
The beach lies in Druridge Bay Country Park, and the park contains toilets, a café, and a playground. The Park is home to several nature reserves, and its populations of swans, golden plovers. And purple sandpipers makes it a great destination for bird watchers.
