🌞 Soak Up the Sun on Beautiful Beaches
Sandhaven Beach, one of the most celebrated beaches in the region, offers soft golden sands, a Blue Flag award, and plenty of space for sandcastle building, paddling, and sunbathing. It’s perfect for families, couples, and solo travellers alike.
You’ll also find Marsden Bay nearby — a breathtaking stretch of coastline known for its dramatic cliffs, caves, and the iconic Marsden Rock. Bring a picnic or grab a bite at the Marsden Grotto, one of the UK’s only cliffside pubs!
