New for April 2024 Caffe Needles Eye is opening at the south end of the promenade.

Walk 4 miles up the coastal path passing Lynemouth and you will find Druridge Bay where you can take in the 7-mile beach and have lunch or coffee at the café. Several country parks are within easy reach of Newbiggin and offer fabulous walking and bird watching opportunities.

A couple of restaurants and pubs are in this friendly village as well as cafés, bakery, butcher, takeaways, craft shops and a supermarket.
