Golden sands, shuggy boats, bands, picnics and guns standing guard.
Hugely redeveloped over the last few years, more to come with the development of new shopping and a hotel. The beach has always been one of the jewels in Blyth's crown. We did it differently long ago.
 This ship ran aground between Blyth and Seaton Sluice in the 1980's. |  The Shuggy Boats were on the sand near to where the Dave Steven's centre is today. |  Another view of Link House. The bridge which crossed Meggies Burn is shown in the foreground. Meggies Burn was piped underground and now empties into the sea from the small concrete pier on the beach. |
