About this walk

An easy stroll around Newbiggin Bay on the paved promenade, with sea views throughout. Start at Church Point car park, beside St Bartholomew's Church, and take the pedestrian path onto the promenade. Follow the curve of the bay southwest, passing the Maritime Centre and looking out towards the offshore Couple sculpture. At the southern end, use the upper paved slope to reach the path beside the playground, then return the same way.

Allow about an hour, with extra time for refreshments or a stop by the sea. The route stays on the promenade and avoids the beach and lower steps. It is mostly level, although there is a short slope at the turn. The bay can be breezy, and the surface may be slippery after rain or sea spray. Keep children away from the water's edge and share the path with other visitors.

Church Point has free public parking. Toilets, cafés and the Maritime Centre are near the northern end; check their opening times.
