Ross Sands is comparatively inaccessible beach on the Northumbrian coast, lying between Holy Island and Bamburgh. As the only parking is over a mile from the beach, it requires a walk through sand dunes to get to the long sweeping bay. This makes it a quieter beach than most- a haven for the serious nature lover, rather than those looking for seaside attractions. It's a wild, timeless place, where the weather seems more extreme, as there's so little shelter from sun or wind.
This viewpoint shows Lindisfarne Castle on Holy Island across the narrow stretch of sea.
