Beckfoot Beach

Beckfoot Beach is a remote, wild beach on the west Cumbrian coast between Silloth and St Bees, south of the Solway and on the approach to the Lake District coastal fringe. The beach is quiet, sandy and backed by dunes, with the characteristic open, windswept character of the Cumbrian coast. It is well away from any significant tourist infrastructure and sees very few visitors. The west Cumbrian coast at this latitude has an overlooked quality: while the Lake District mountains are dramatic just inland, the beaches here are largely unknown to visitors who stay in the national park.

Beckfoot Beach is a dog friendly destination with no reported restrictions. The remote nature and lack of facilities naturally limit visitor numbers, making it consistently good for off-lead walking. Access is via a minor road from the village. Parking is informal and limited.
