Beadnell Bay

Mostly exposed to the east, this massive horseshoe shaped bay has a few options. Most of it is a beach type beach, but the main star is the reef at the northern-centre of the bay. Looking from the harbour south, you should be able to see it. Breaks quite far out, so obviously not recommended for beginners.

KA Adventure Sports operates at this beach, offering rentals - but I think they might do lessons either here or Bamburgh, probably depending on the conditions.

Seems like most of the parking options here are paid - along with entire town being painted with double yellow lines.
