About

Newbiggin, on the Northumberland coast, is a small seaside town fronting the North Sea. The town centres on a long sandy beach and a straight promenade backed by a row of beach huts and low terraces. Fishing and later coal working shaped the settlement; traces of that history appear in former cottages, a modest harbour at the seaward end of the main street and in local place names. Walks along the shore are straightforward and the beach shelves gently, making the intertidal area a place for families and for people studying shore birds and rock pools.

There is a compact town centre with shops, a library and community spaces that serve residents and visitors. Local plans in recent decades focused on coastal protection and public access, so stone sea walls and repaired piers sit beside new seating and information boards. Events on the promenade include small markets and seasonal activities, and those interested in local history can find references to the town's lifeboat service and maritime records in community archives.
