Druridge Bay Management Strategy

Druridge Bay is a popular and easily accessible 7 mile sweep of uninterrupted beach stretching from the village of Cresswell to the town of Amble.

The Druridge Bay Partnership has put together a management strategy for the Druridge Bay area in order to conserve and enhance its environmental quality for the benefit of both local communities and visitors. This strategy provides a framework for delivery of action over a 5 year period.
