The area has a traditional seaside atmosphere, combining a historic fishing heritage with sandy beaches, independent shops, cafés, pubs and restaurants.

Guests can enjoy a leisurely stroll through the village and along the waterfront, with plenty of opportunities to stop for fresh seafood, fish and chips, coffee or a drink. The village centre around Main Street provides a good selection of local amenities, while the harbour offers attractive views across the North Sea and towards the Farne Islands.
