How to Hire Blyth 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 2024. 

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 |  Coastal Walks 

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.


You can read a full guide to this walk here: https://www.northeastfamilyfun.co.uk/2023/01/blyth-seaton-sluice-pushchair-walk.html

Blyth Beach |  Play Parks

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. 


There's also Breeze restaurant, a coffee shop, Greggs and several other businesses now. 

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