Blyth Beach is a long, sandy bay located in Northumberland, UK. It features a seawall and harbour at the northern end, which offers some shelter from northerly winds. The beach has parking available all along its stretch, making it easy to access. This spot is known as the birthplace of the UK's only world champion surfer, Martin Potter, adding a bit of local pride to the area.

The surf here can be pretty varied. It breaks over a sandy bottom and handles swell sizes from about 1 meter (3 feet) to 2.5 meters (8 feet). You'll find both right and left waves, with shifty peaks that can be fun when conditions are right. The best time to catch some waves is usually during the autumn and winter months, especially when the wind is coming from the south-southwest, southwest, or west-southwest. It’s great for surfers of all levels, whether you’re a beginner catching smaller waves or more experienced surfers looking to ride something bigger. When the swell is up, be ready for some rips, so keep an eye on the conditions.

Access to Blyth Beach is straightforward, with several car parks either right by the beach or just a short walk behind the dunes. The local crowd is generally friendly, and you'll likely find the beach is quite relaxed, so it's not overly crowded. Whether you're bringing a shortboard, longboard, or even a bodyboard, you can enjoy some enjoyable surf, especially when conditions line up.
