Blyth Beach Surf Guide
Long, sandy bay with seawall / harbour at northern end, making it a good option for a bit of shelter in northerly winds. The river filters in here and there is another small river to the south. Banks are shifty, but can be good and there are a few groynes towards the Blyth end. Parking all along the bay. The UK's only world champion Martin Potter was born here.
