NNorth East Surfing

Alnmouth

Surf Spot

Description

A handsome village beach with sandbars at the mouth of the Aln that can shape up well after big seas rearrange the sand. It's fickle and heavily dependent on the state of the banks, but worth checking on a road trip between the northern bays and Druridge.
