Cresswell Bay

The holiday park we stayed at was on Cresswell Bay, a beautiful beach that we'd discovered - by accident - the last time we came to the north east.   The park was lovely - so quiet - and I'm so glad we didn't read the trip advisor reviews in advance as they were shockingly bad, although we can't think why as we loved it here and have said that we would like to revisit.

The beach goes on for miles and we kept returning to it over the course of the week and, of course, it provided the scene of our first leg stretch as soon as we arrived.

It's a well used beach - although you wouldn't think so from these photos! - with plenty of car parks along it, nestled in the sand dunes.  And we could see plenty of other dog walkers taking advantage of the miles of sand.

We had to keep an eye on Finn as he kept disappearing up into the sand dunes for some reason!

All this space - and barely a soul on it.  Just how we like our beaches!

Yes, definitely somewhere we will return to in the future.
