Fishing

Low Newton sits at the northern end of Embleton Bay, one of the clean-ground Northumberland beaches reported for flounder and occasional turbot. The evidence supports modest beach fishing rather than a specialist high-catch mark. Use small worm or fish baits over clean ground and avoid importing the heavy-rock cod, wrasse and pollack tactics used farther north around Dunstanburgh.

Species reported: Flounder, Turbot

Crabbing
