About This Place

This remote and little known sandy beach is located on the far (northern) side of Holy Island. Backed by high sand dunes there are steep cliffs at the eastern end, both of which provide shelter from the wind. --> As the tide goes out the sand gives way to rocks and there are plenty of rock pools to explore.

💡 Our Take

Looking for a Northumberland beach where tails can wag freely, all year round? Coves Haven Beach on Holy Island is perfect! Your furry friend will love bounding across the fine sands, and the unrestricted access means endless fun. Parking's nearby, though remember Holy Island tides – check them carefully! The nearest facilities are back in the village so come prepared. While paddling is tempting, be mindful of the strong currents. Coves Haven is ideal for confident swimmers and big dogs, allowing them to truly stretch their legs. This beach is a must-visit for an off-leash doggy adventure!
