How to Hire Beach Huts


Blyth Beach is only a few miles away from our home and such a nice day out with lots of good facilities. First of all, there is FREE unlimited parking which is always a plus. The beach is accessible by public transport with a bus stop nearby. This post is based on a visit in 2017. Prices have been updated for 2022.

The beach is a favourite after school spot of ours after summer on those days where you want to make the most of every drop of sunshine and we have spent many an afternoon here in the school holidays and weekends too.

Blyth Beach is home to it's very own beach huts which are available to hire on a daily from Blyth Valley Council. Each hut has 4 deck chairs, coat hooks and a kettle. (Please note that no BBQs or animals are allowed). We hired a Beach Hut to celebrate the Queen's Diamond Jubilee and all brought our own deck chairs - it was a fantastic base for the family and a lovely afternoon.

The huts provide a welcome shelter from the wind/sun and have their own small terrace looking out over the park. Beach huts can be hired for £40 per day - see here for details of how to book.

This information is taken from the Active Northumberland website:

We normally take the kids' bikes or scooters to Blyth Beach and walk along the coastal path to Seaton Sluice. It's safe , flat and popular with families and dog walkers. It is around a 4-5 mile round trip.

Just set back from the beach you'll find 2 fabulous play parks - one for younger children with swings, small climbing frames and sand diggers and a larger park for older kids with climbing nets and tyre swings. They really are nice parks and if your children are old enough to play unsupervised, there are picnic tables and seating areas just outside the park where you can enjoy a nice cuppa!

Blyth Beach |  Fish & Chips

Coastline fish & chips has to be one of the best chips shops in Northumberland. It is always very popular though - we visited on a sunny Sunday afternoon in February and the queue was out of the door! I waited 40 minutes for these bad boys! Worth it though. You can dine in the restaurant or takeaway. We usually opt to takeaway and eat on the picnic benches outside. There is also a popular ice cream parlour attached to the takeaway with lots of varieties of ice cream and hot drinks on offer. 


You can find out more about Coastline Fish and Chips here.

If you'd like to see more from our recent trip to Blyth Beach, during our most recent trip we created a video from our weekend. I'd love to hear what you think: 



Let me know if you've visited Blyth Beach before and if it's a favourite with your family.

  4. We visited Blyth beach for the first time last year when the Tall ships were visiting and we said we would have to visit on a normal day. It's on our list of things to do in the summer :) x

  5. I've always wondered how much these were to hire. I also wasn't sure if they had toilets , rather than keep going across to the centre.

    Blyth beach is one of my favourite places and is most definitely my favourite chippy ! . Can't beat it.

    There is also an ice cream van in the car park and another food van , which sells burgers , sweets and fresh doughnuts and I'm pretty sure they have fishing nets etc.

    There is sometimes rides eg inflatable slides etc and also hosts music festivals from time to time xxx
